The objective of this article is to explain the data
obtained by some fundamental analyses performed
on waterlogged wood, and the ways of utilizing
this data. Today, thanks to state-of-art technology,
many different and new methods are used in the
analysis of waterlogged wooden artifacts. However,
this article aims to provide the most preferred basic
analytical practices among all. The purpose of
carrying out these analyses is mainly to characterize
the properties of waterlogged wood, understand the
degradation level of its nature and properly manage
the conservation work. The analyses taken into
consideration are: maximum water content, basic
density, loss of wood substance, fourier transform
infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron
microscopy (SEM), scanning electron microscope
(SEM) energy dispersed X-ray spectroscopy
(EDX), radiographic methods, X-ray fluorescence
spectroscopy (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD)
analysis.
