4. Conclusion<br />

We investigated the adsorption/desorption mechanism of water in wood and its change with ageing in<br />

archaeological wood, using NIR spectroscopy. The mixture model of water was adapted to explain the<br />

wood-water interaction, where the difference spectra were decomposed into three components. The<br />

variation of the areal integral and the peak wavenumber for each component with relative humidity<br />

could be explained by proposing a three stage model for water adsorption.<br />
