This Project Grant award of $300,000.00, provided by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs under the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (CFDA 19.025) program, supports the post-disaster recovery and preservation of the remains of the ancient extramural sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone at Cyrene, Libya. The grant, awarded to the University of Durham in the United Kingdom, will fund a multi-year effort to conduct field data collection, analysis, and knowledge dissemination related to the archaeological site. As a state-controlled institution of higher learning, the University of Durham leverages its expertise in archaeology and conservation to advance the program's objectives of preserving cultural heritage and supporting U.S. diplomatic goals.
