Conservation
Excavation becomes destruction, if the structures revealed are not immediately conserved. Also, in order to help interpret archaeological findings to visitors, consolidation or building up on remains is occasionally required.

Conservation, using traditional materials and carried out by master craftsmen, followed the archaeological excavations to ensure long term preservation of the site. The terracotta pipes, being very fragile were covered with geo textiles and sand in order to ensure its safety.
