Some people say the hauling changes have vastly improved siege cleanup. My experience seems to be the opposite. The dwarves carry bins out into the battlefield, add a single item to the bin and then leave the bin standing in the open while they do something else. By the time the next ambush arrives I have more stuff  outside the fort than when I started. Then along comes a tribe of monkeys, and "A Gray Langur has stolen Kun Otil!".

Kun Otil, a legendary wooden blowpipe.

Clearly I'm doing something wrong.

So, what's the efficient way to manage my stockpiles and hauling?

My guess would be that you don't have enough sockpile space (forgive the pun, couldn't resist) for the items, and so they have nowhere to bring back the bins after filling them. If not, try having dedicated item haulers, at least during cleanup.

For starters, you should stockpile your artifacts away from everything else.  Preferably deep in your fortress.
