Internal Carving Structure
CT scans showed carving depth, tool angles, and internal voids, revealing how bowls were shaped from limestone and basalt.
Residue Detection
Density differences indicated traces of organic residue left from food preparation or ritual offerings.
Cultural Interpretation
The bowls reflected domestic and ceremonial practices in the Beersheba Valley. Internal structure helped reconstruct their use.
Preservation Impact
CT imaging allowed researchers to study stone bowls without handling them extensively.
