28.08.2018 - Henry Cleere

ICAHM is deeply saddened by the news of Henry Cleere’s passing. Henry Cleere was one of the founding fathers of ICAHM and authors of the 1990 ICAHM Lausanne Charter for the Protection and Management of the Archaeological Heritage. Henry Cleere has been an inspiration for all those involved in archaeological heritage management and he will be deeply missed. We wish his family and loved ones much strength in this difficult time.
