Henkelman \n\nThe Elamite cuneiform tablets from Persepolis\, dating to around 500 BCE\, afford an unprecedented view on life in the heartland of the Achaemenid empire.

Two women were particularly conspicuous: Irtashtuna\, one of wives of Darius I\, and Irdabama\, plausibly his mother. They held several estates\, commanded large workforces\, travelled on their own\, and headed their own court and economic institution.

Henkelman earned his PhD at Leiden University in 2006 with a dissertation about Achaemenid religion as evidenced in the Elamite tablets from Persepolis. Since 2012 he is associate professor of Elamite and Achaemenid history and culture at the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris\, where he also directs the Sarikhani Centre of Elamite Studies.
