Internal Structure
The scans showed casting bubbles, seams, and alloy distribution. These features helped identify workshop traditions and tool quality.
Sharpening Patterns
Radiography revealed internal wear patterns that indicated how blades were sharpened and used. This supported interpretations of agricultural practices.
Corrosion Mapping
The scans identified corrosion pockets that guided conservation decisions.
Preservation Impact
Radiography allowed researchers to study blades without removing corrosion layers.
