AB  - A degree of preservation of iron artefacts depends on the type of underground environment and the type of
corrosion products formed on their surface. This paper analyses the conditions of an archaeological artefact made of iron,
which was found to originate from the Roman period. The iron corrosion products, goethite, lepidocrocite and magnetite
(determined by the X-ray diffraction method) have been noticed in the corrosion products of the artefact. The ion
chromatography analysis has revealed chloride and sulphate anions, pointing to the necessity of having artefacts treated in
adequate solutions immediately after their excavation. It has been found that the EDTA solution is very efficient in the
process of desalination of the artefact. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the corrosion product types
and the effects of applying the EDTA solution, otherwise not commonly used for desalination of iron objects. This method
was applied here due to the complex structures of the found archaeological artefacts and the presence of copper alloys
besides iron. The aim of this paper is to determine the type of influence corrosion products have on an artefact and to
determine the effect of desalination treatment.
