A large number of bronze artifacts unearthed during archaeological excavations show varying degrees of deterioration,resulting in threats to their health.Scientifically assessing the health status of excavated artifacts is not only crucial for determining the methods of on-site extraction,packaging,and transportation but also forms the basis for subsequent conservation and restoration efforts.This paper explores the assessment of the health status of bronze artifacts unearthed at archaeological sites,covering evaluation criteria,analytical methods,and assessment techniques.We attempt to establish a method for assessing the health status of bronze artifacts excavated at archaeological sites and apply it to the conservation of bronzes at the archaeological site at the Xianyang Airport to validate the feasibility of the method.This research holds significant practical value and demonstrative benefits to future conservation practices.
