Series: - Mémoires de la Délégation en Perse, Volume: 59
Susa and Elam II: History, Language, Religion and Culture presents 16 contributions on various topics, all related to the history of Susa and Elam, both situated in the southwest of modern-day Iran. More specifically, the volume is the proceedings of an international conference held at the Université catholique de Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium) from 6 to 9 July 2015. There are four main sections (history, language, religion, and culture) containing articles by Belgian and internationally renowned researchers, as well as some young scholars, specialized in Susian and Elamite studies. The contributions cover various themes such as royal names, diplomatic history, Elamite weights, and socio-environmental history among others.

His research axes are inter alia: Elamite and Old Persian languages, linguistic history of the Achaemenid Empire and interaction between the Arabian peninsula and Mesopotamia.
Elynn Gorris, Ph.D. (2014), Catholic University of Louvain, is a Marie Curie Global Fellow at the Université catholique de Louvain and Macquarie University. Her research is focused on the political, diplomatic and commercial history of the Neo-Elamite kingdom and its neighbors.
