考古木材可以被定义为枯木，被灭绝的人类文化使用，可能已经或可能没有被修改或使用，并被丢弃到特定的自然环境中。这样的木材现在已经从这个环境中被移除，从最终将木材转化为化石或灰尘的化学和物理变化序列中被移除。考古木材的状况可能接近正常或发生了巨大的变化。单纯的年龄对木材的劣化是没有意义的，劣化取决于木材的类型、环境和时间。20世纪的世纪社会，对过去物品的价值有了新的认识，并有了处理这些物品的新技术，正在为后代保护这种木材。本章将简要概述废弃物的变化环境，它们对木材性能的影响，以及世纪对木材防腐技术的态度。
Archaeological wood may be defined as dead wood, used by an extinct human culture, that may or may not have been modified for or by use, and that was discarded into a specific natural environment. Such wood has now been removed from this environment, taken out of the sequence of chemical and physical changes that would ultimately have transformed the wood either to a fossil or to dust. The condition of archaeological wood could be near normal or extensively altered. Age alone is meaningless in terms of deterioration, which depends on the type of wood, the environment, and time. Twentieth century society, with a new awareness of the value of the objects of the past and with new technology for handling them, is preserving this wood for posterity. This chapter will present a brief overview of the variable environments of discard, their effects on the properties of the wood, and 20th century attitudes toward technology of wood preservation.
