Early life and education

Didier was raised near Paris, alongside her older brother and her younger brother.[3] She was raised in an artistic environment, with her father being a professional musicians involved in the film industry. Didier spent 15 years doing ballet and other dance styles as an extracurricular.[3] She also became interested in archaeology at a young age, sparked by her mother taking her to museums every week.[3] By age 12, she had decided to pursue archaeology as a career.[3]

Didier attended Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University for her master's degree, during which she focused on the Indus Valley Civilization, and her PhD in archaeology, during which she specialized in pottery.[1][4] In 2007, she defended her PhD, based on her archaeological work in Makran, in Paris.[3][5]

Career

Didier has worked at sites in Ladakh, India, Oman, and Turkmenistan.[1][4] For two years, she headed pottery studies at the French-Indian Archeological programme in Ladakh.[4]

In 2000, Didier began working in Pakistan as part of the Pakistan-French Archaeological Mission in Makran.[4] There, she worked at Shahi Tump, a site near Turbat, overseeing excavations alongside other archaeologists.[3][4] From 2001 until 2007, Didier spent four months each year (January to April) in Makran.[4] In the course of doing so, Didier learned Balochi through her interactions with local colleagues and residents.[3]

In 2012, Didier began working at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) as the head of the Indus-Balochistan program.[1][3]

In 2013, Didier became the director of the French Archaeological Mission in the Indus Basin.[1][6] The mission launched its first field programs in 2015.[3] As part of these programs, Didier has worked at Chanhudaro, a site in Sindh, Pakistan.[6][7][8]

In 2014, Didier was chosen by Catherine Jarrige to head the archaeological program at Mehrgarh in Pakistan.[4] That same year, she received a grant from the Shelby White and Leon Levy Program for Archaeological Publications at Harvard University.[1]
