 Lu Caixa , a researcher at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore , states in the newsletter of the International Institute for Asian Studies , Leiden , Netherland , that “ the excavation of the Belitung has been acknowledged as an admirable example of what can be achieved under difficult conditions in Southeast Asia . ” She points out that unlike some other commercial operators , Walterfang ’ s company ensured that “ the ship structure itself was properly recorded , the cargo was kept together rather than dispersed , and the finds were well conserved , studied , catalogued , and published . " Caixa ends by highlighting the efficacy of the public @-@ private arrangement : “ It is difficult to imagine how this particular project could have been financed or organized without commercial involvement . ”
