Guidelines on the X-radiography of archaeological metalwork
This guidance provides recommendations on the minimum requirements for X-raying metal finds from archaeological projects. It is aimed both at those who commission, manage or monitor post-excavation projects that involve the recording and analysis of metalwork; and, to those who produce and use X-radiographs in the course of their work.
We are in the process of updating the guidance to include advice on commissioning and undertaking digital and computed radiography and advice on the archiving of these digital outputs.
