As an expert on Balkan archaeology and history, Dr. Linda Ellis of San Francisco, California, has delivered public lectures on wars and political crises in the Balkans. She has also conducted archaeological research in Romania for nearly 30 years and was the first Western archaeologist after WWII permitted to conduct archaeological excavations in Romania and to export Romanian museum objects for technical analyses in the U.S. She was invited by UNESCO to go to Romania in 1992 as part of an international effort to assist museums damaged by the revolts of December 1989.
