Éveha International members are researchers engaged in archaeological research in France and abroad. Most of them hold a master's degree or a doctorate, and are also members of university teams (called UMR in France) or CNRS laboratories. The wide range of our skills and fields of investigation means that our teams are able to operate in most areas of current research.

Loïc Mazou
Ph.D.
UMR 7041 ; UR 15071
Loïc Mazou holds a PhD in Art History and Ancient Archaeology. He specializes in the study of ceramic production, housing and site occupation in the Eastern Mediterranean, particularly in Cyrenaica and Egypt. His thesis, supervised by Pascale Ballet (Université Paris Nanterre) and Michel Bonifay (CNRS), focused on ceramic production in northern Cyrenaica from the 2nd to the 7th century AD, studying workshops, facies and models. The aim of this work was to fill a major gap in our knowledge of ceramics circulating between Tripolitania and Egypt in Late Antiquity, notably by analyzing the archaeological material from the sites of Apollonia and Erythron, providing new stratigraphic and ceramological data for this region.
Since 2021, Loïc has been heading the Mission Archéologique Française de Bouto (Tell el-Fara’in) in Egypt, a research program entitled “Living, producing and dying in Bouto during the Imperial Roman period”. This mission, supported by the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs and the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology in Cairo, and now associated with Éveha International, is studying, among other things, urban organization, craft activities and funerary practices in this Nile delta town during the Roman period from Octavian to Diocletian. His recent research has led to two major discoveries: firstly, the identification of an imposing cereal warehouse (thesauros) dating from the 1st-2nd century AD, which offers a new perspective on the regional economy; and secondly, the discovery of a potter’s kiln with tubes for fully oxidizing firing (mode C), which imitates Gallic and Italic techniques. This latter discovery is the first archaeological evidence of the use of this firing technology in the Orient.
At the same time, Loïc is continuing his work on several archaeological sites in the Near East and Eastern Mediterranean. He has played an active role in the study of the Roman tomb at Bayt Ras in Jordan (site of the ancient city of Capitolias, part of the Levantine Decapolis), excavations at the Mambré site in Hebron, Palestine, and has contributed to projects in Iraqi Kurdistan, Libya and Sudan. These various missions enable him to study the phenomena of cultural and economic interaction in antiquity through architecture, urbanism and material culture.
Since 2011, Loïc has also been teaching at several French universities, notably the University of Poitiers, where he shares his expertise in the History of Art and Archaeology of Antiquity, funerary archaeology and techniques applied to archaeology.

Laudine Robin is in charge of operations at Éveha for the ancient period and is a specialist in ancient, medieval, and modern glass. She completed a doctorate at the University of Lyon 2 on “Glass in Lyon-Lugdunum during the High Empire: production and consumption”. Afterward, for more than two years, she worked on contracts with preventive archaeology operators, interspersed with temporary assignments at the CNRS as sector manager for the programmed excavation of the Beni Salama site (Egypt, dir. M.-D. Nenna, Hisoma) and as a temporary teacher at the University of Lyon 2. This gave her the opportunity to work on ancient, medieval, and modern ensembles in various contexts, ranging from the funerary domain to the domestic world, from artisanal sectors to cultic ensembles. Recruited in 2014 at Éveha, she now studies issues related to funerary gestures and practices and continues her research on glass craftsmanship thanks in particular to the discovery of remains of several workshops dated from the late Iron Age to the first centuries of our era.
Her integration into the UMR 5138 MOM laboratory (Lyon) allows her to continue her research programs and collaborations with the various actors in archaeology. She also participates in several research programs abroad. In particular, she is studying glass deposits in a funerary context at Porta Norcera in Pompeii (Italy, dir. by William Van Andringa, Université Lille 3); the diffusion of glassware in domestic contexts at the site of Pegharinos (Portugal, dir. Tony Silvino, Eveha); finally, the remains of the Mambré Oak site in Hebron (West Bank, dir. Vincent Michel, University of Poitiers), offer the opportunity for Laudine Robin to work on an Eastern cultic context. Since 2017, she has been an expert in the CTRA Rhône-Alpes-Auvergne-PACA-Corsica commission as a representative of a private operator.
