Georges Alexandre Trouvé (1902–1935) was a French architect and archaeologist who served as the Conservator of Angkor, and sadly passed away in Siem Reap well before his time. He is noted for significant excavation and clearing work at Prasat Tor and the Roluos group; discovering the foundation stelae of Preah Ko and Bakong; discovering Prasat Ak Yum, the oldest known “temple-mountain,” which was found buried in the southern dike of the West Baray; unearthing the famous monumental statue of Buddha seated on a Naga from the central pit of the Bayon in 1933.
