    Your bones and teeth also. And steel and other metals. So sunken, pre-1945 battleships got scavenged for low-background steel and Los Alamos pulled lead out of a sewer for low-background uses:

    Speaking of radiation, tho? The 552 above-ground nuclear detonations on Earth since 1945 have rendered *post*-1945 art forgery attempts of *pre*-1945 art basically impossible to pull off. Post-1945 art contains radioactive isotopes older art doesn't.
