Miriam Astruc (1904-1963), archaeologist, born in Bordeaux, France, into a family of bankers. After completing her initial studies in Bordeaux, she furthered her education in Paris at the renowned École du Louvre, from 1927 to 1931, and specialized in oriental archaeology and Semitic epigraphy.

In 1931, Astruc arrived in Spain with a scholarship from the French Government to study at the Institute des Hautes Études Hispaniques. She conducted research on the Villaricos necropolis in Almería. She then became the mission manager for the Algerian Antiquities Directorate in 1935. She actively participated in excavations in Djidjelli, publishing the significant findings. During WW II, Astruc had to interrupt her work. All her research papers were lost or destroyed during this time, except for her manuscript on Villaricos. This surviving work served as the basis for an elaborate and scientific study later published in the Reports and Memoirs of the General Commission for Archaeological Excavations.

In 1952-1954, Asruc returned to Spain and conducted an extensive study of Punic collections, particularly terracotta objects, in various Spanish museums. She collaborated with the Spanish Institute of Archaeology, participated in symposiums, and engaged in conferences. She directed several excavations, including the Isla Plana site in 1953, the renowned necropolis of Puig des Molins, and the town of San Mateo in subsequent years. The results were published in a number of scientific articles. Astruc's research then extended along the Mediterranean coast, exploring Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia - especially Carthage and the Lavigerie Museum, and other sites in southern Italy, Sicily, Sardinia, and Malta. Towards the end of the 1950s, Astruc settled in Paris as a member of the CNRC (National Center for Scientific Research), focusing on her studies of the oriental world. She obtained a new assignment in Lebanon, where she contributed her expertise. Astruc died in an unforeseen flood during a visit to the ruins of ancient city of Petra in Jordan.
