They are also treated with an insecticide. The contents of each box, the year they were discovered, and the location they came from is recorded in several places on the outside of the boxes. These boxes come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are built solid and have a strong latch. The Antiquities Organization will send a committee to open our store room and to seal our boxes of objects from the 1996 Season.

We have talked about this briefly over the past few weeks. You have even considered the challenge of covering the kom to protect it from potential damage. Protective walls are built and various areas and installations are covered when we feel it is necessary. We try to err on the side of caution and work to be over protective. Our guards not only watch out for trespassers and suspicious activities, they also keep a watchful eye on the antiquities themselves.
