- The conservation efforts of this project were conducted and overseen by conservators John Stewart and Hiroko Kariya. Dr. Peter Dorman and Dr. W. Raymond Johnson of the Epigraphic Survey provided invaluable management and planning. Dr. Taha Abdallah of the Engineering Center for Archaeology and Environment at Cairo University conducted scientific analysis of stone samples.

This undertaking could not have succeeded without the support of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (formerly the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities).
