Jean-Marc LUCE is a Professor in the Department of History, History of Art and Archaeology at the Université de Toulouse (affiliated with Patrimoine, Littérature, Histoire - PLH and École française d'Athènes). His research focuses on the archaeology and art history of the Greek world during the Iron Age (1200-500 BC), with specific expertise in funerary methods, housing, sanctuaries (notably Delphi and Tegea), ceramics, landscape history, food history, and Greek aesthetics.

• Education: CAPES (1986) and Agrégation (1988) in Classical Literature, thesis at Université de Dijon (1993), and habilitation at Université de Toulouse (2003).
• Positions: Lecturer (1993) and Professor (2005) at Université de Toulouse le Mirail.

His scholarly output includes monographs, edited conference proceedings, and articles analyzing Delphi's topography, Greek banquets, ethnic identities, and the cultural role of dogs in antiquity. He collaborates on archaeometry projects, such as the Prometheus program, which examines optical and mechanical properties of archaeological soils. Recent publications span topics like Phocis in the Iron Age, metonymy in Greek art, and Delphi's urban development. Though no formal awards are documented, his international collaborations and leadership in fieldwork highlight his contributions to archaeology and classical studies.
