Conservation treatments for archaeological iron focus on chlorine extraction. In their Communication on page 7269 ff., I. Freestone, E. Schofield et al. look back on over 30 years of conservation applied to cast iron cannonballs from the shipwreck of King Henry VIII's flagship, the Mary Rose . Using a combination of synchrotron‐based techniques, the impact of conservation choices on iron corrosion was assessed.
