Jacques Tixier (French pronunciation: [ʒak tiksje]; 1 January 1925 – 3 April 2018)[1] was a French archaeologist and prehistorian notable for his work on prehistory in Qatar, Lebanon, and North Africa. He led the first French archaeological mission to Qatar in 1976.[2] His team, Mission Archéologique Français à Qatar, discovered Al Khor Island that year.[3] He also discovered an archaeological site in Shagra.[4] Tixier published one of two volumes of the team's findings in 1980, with the second volume being published by his colleague Marie‐Louise Inizan in 1988.[5]
