A first rate organisation. Knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated to the exploration and understanding of Libyan archaeology. I admire the energy and enthusiasm with which director, Noel Boaz, has overcome many challenges to make new discoveries and bring those discoveries to the attention of peers and the wider public.
