Internal Structure
The scans showed voids, casting bubbles, and hidden fractures. These features helped identify the dagger’s manufacturing method.
Corrosion Mapping
Radiography identified corrosion pockets that were not visible externally. This guided conservation decisions.
Historical Interpretation
The dagger’s internal structure matched known Bronze Age casting techniques, supporting its dating and cultural attribution.
Preservation Benefits
Radiography allowed detailed study without removing corrosion layers, preserving the artifact’s surface.
