I just came upon a copy of a draft (ie, it includes hand-written corrections) of a paper by Maarten van Emden, "A Glimpse of Prolog", dated 29 July 1981 which states: "By the end of 1973 a Prolog interpreter written [in] Fortran was completed in Marseille. This found its way to several other universities, including Waterloo, where it was used in 1975 and 1976. The Marseille interpreter served as a model for Roberts's interpreter which was completed in 1977 and which has since been used by about 200 students in successive courses in Artificial Intelligence."
