Srah Srang:

The group of experts recommends that further work be done, including a further cleaning of the blocks that bear visible numbering and seeing to it that newly added stones are given a sensitive, appropriate treatment and are more pleasingly integrated. It is vital to have a restoration expert on hand during all phases of the restoration work on this terrace.
The group also recommends that the APSARA National Authority do more to make qualified experts routinely available on all work sites. This would help provide a technical, scientific basis for the stone restoration work and the treatment of stone pathologies. The presence of such experts on the teams would make their experience available to teams working on similar projects, in harmony with the principles embodied in the Angkor Charter.
