Internal Structure
Radiography exposed casting bubbles, seams, and alloy distribution. These features helped identify the chisel’s manufacturing technique and workshop origin.
Sharpening Patterns
Internal wear patterns indicated repeated sharpening, supporting interpretations of long term use in carpentry or construction.
Corrosion Mapping
The scans revealed corrosion pockets that guided conservation decisions and prevented damage during cleaning.
Preservation Impact
Radiography allowed researchers to study the chisel without removing corrosion layers, preserving its archaeological context.
