Oral presentation
The pulsed neutron transmission method is a unique method that can give crystallographic information non-invasively over a relatively wide area by analyzing the transmission spectrum of a sample reflecting the crystallographic characteristics(1). The transmission spectrum includes information on crystal structure, lattice spacing, strain, preferred orientation, and crystallite size. By...

Oral presentation
Scientific investigations and archaeometric studies have played a major role in the field of archaeology, especially with regard to materials transformed through human activity. Until recently, metal artefacts have been mainly studied through standard analytical techniques like metallography and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), which required the samples to be taken from the artefact and...

SUMMARY
This presentation describes the investigation of two objects from a necropolis (Nécropole à la Montagne) in Avenches (VD, Switzerland): a bracelet and a sanitary tool made of copper alloy and presenting different questions. In both cases it was necessary to get sight of the interior of the objects. For that purpose, completely non-destructively methods were needed.
Although...

Oral presentation
One of the most important tasks of archeology and other human sciences is comprehensive study of the cultural heritage items, which takes us into the deep past and allows understanding the formation and development of civilizations and ethnic groups. The special value and uniqueness of such items requires application of advanced nondestructive methods for their studies [1.2]. One of such...
