A group of notables from Niger spent a day on campus last week as guests of Boston University's International Visitors Program. One of their stops was the African Studies Center, where they discussed BU's potential role in the conservation and management of Niger's archaeological heritage with Michael DiBlasi, research fellow and CAS adjunct assistant professor of archaeology.
