Abstract
The Wood Research Group at Dundee Institute of Technology is currently investigating a number of parameters associated with methodology for) the preservation of timber and the detection of decay organisms within timber. Application of specific methodologies allowing the in situtreatment of timbers with preservative agents and the relatively non-destructive testing of timbers for decay organisms are particularly appropriate to conservation strategies for wooden structures. Currently used procedures for remedial treatment of such structures require visual identification of decayed wood followed by removal and replacement of defective timbers. An alternative strategy is required where artefacts of historical or archaeological importance are under threat.
