Conservation has played a central role in the Hacinebi excavations. With generous support from the Kress foundation, from 1993-1997 conservators Katherine Untch, Jessica Johnson, Tania Collas, Cynthia Cripps,and Katherine May stabilized ceramic, unbaked clay, metal, bone, and stone artifacts from Hacinebi, as part of a collaborative multi-site artifact conservation project conducted in conjunction with the nearby excavations at Titris and Kazane.The sequence below shows conservators Tania Collas and Katherine May stabilizing and removing a large ceramic coffin from Achaemenid burial Op. 13 locus 38 for transportation on the roof of a minibus to the Sanliurfa provincial museum, some 90 km away. The coffin arrived intact at the museum, where it is currently in storage.
