Makes you wonder about the amount of esteemed publications and research in archeological circles he must have under his belt to maintain such a reputation.
You know that I think Giles must be the best of the best, both in obscure occult circles (where he may keep a low profile) and the upper elite of the theoretical archaeologists, if I may coin a phrase. [g] But he is so good that only the other top experts know or recognize that expertise, and everyone in Sunnydale thinks he's 'just a librarian' with rather eccentric habits.
I love Rupert's excitement over the artefact
Another reason to love him. He really loves his work. He really loves a mystery and a challenge.
with, of course, the huge truckload of salt you need when dealing with carbon dating in the best of circumstances.

Especially in Sunnydale.
