Since commencing operation in 2014, the Dingo neutron imaging facility has expanded capabilities of investigating materials of cultural heritage significance at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation. This paper offers an overview of the diverse range of artefacts investigated on the beamline during the last decade. A selection of case studies established through national and international collaborations showcases how neutron imaging can provide university and museum users with a powerful analytical tool for non-invasive real-space evaluation of a variety of ancient artefacts with properties complementary to other nuclear methods.
