This paper shows the possibilities offered by the combined use of non-destructive neutron and X-ray beams in archaeological research on metallic finds. The following five artefacts front Swiss excavations were submitted to investigation, each with dedicated aims: a Roman sword, a Roman dagger, an Iron Age bucket, Iron Age spearheads and a Roman finger ring. The images obtained with both methods-neutrons and X-rays-are discussed in length in this paper. The investigations took place at the Paul Scherrer Institute and the archaeologists who studied the objects come from the Universities of Lausanne and Zurich.
