During the summer 2023, the LoNAP project of Udine University in cooperation with the Directorate of Antiquities and Heritage of Duhok carried out the restoration of the Great Relief of Khinis in the Duhok Governorate (KRI).
The work was funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation and represents the starting point of the creation of a vast archaeological park, which will protect, conserve and enhance the archaeological sites connected to the huge irrigation project built by King Sennacherib in the hinterland of its capital, ancient Nineveh.
Conservation treatment in Khinis was sponsored by Calchera San Giorgio (Italy), which supplied conservation material.
