Research on the Health Assessment Method of Bronze Artifacts Excavated from Archaeological Sites

Abstract As one of the common physical materials in Chinese archaeological excavations, ancient bronzes are important bases for studying the development of Chinese bronze culture, which is of great significance for exploring the development law of ancient human culture and reconstructing ancient human society. However, the ancient bronzes unearthed by archaeological excavations have been corroded to varying degrees under the dual influence of the soil burial environment and the sudden change of the above-ground environment, which has led to the different health status of the cultural relics. An adequate scientific evaluation of these bronzes is needed to inform how they should be extracted, moved and transported, as well as how subsequently they should be restored. Based on the analysis and research of relevant industry standards and the disease characteristics of bronzes to determine the risk factors affecting the health status of unearthed cultural relics, and then determines the main content of the health assessment of bronzes. By studying methods to effectively characterize the health status of bronzes and combining laboratory research to form a systematic method for in situ nondestructive analysis of bronzes. Through the systematic analysis of the detection results of the evaluation indicators to establish an analysis model for the health evaluation of bronzes. Finally, this paper achieves a scientific and effective evaluation of the health status of bronzes unearthed from archaeological sites. This enabled the feasibility of the extraction methods to be evaluated using the excavated Sanxingdui bronzes as samples.
