Conservation Note:
Wooden supports were installed beneath the assembled groups and stainless steel dowels 8 mm in diameter were inserted into the base at the lower (foot end) of the proper left and right sides to keep the fragments from sliding down. They were augmented by a 2 cm stainless steel rod inserted in the base at the lower end of the proper left and right sides. Metal strips 20 cm in width and 3 mm in thickness were used to restrict lateral movement of the fragments. Epoxy adhesive (Vantico) was used to cement the fragment groups together, with wooden blocks placed beneath the central part of the lid for support. For more information on the assembly of lid fragments, see section VI.7 in the Final Report.
