Internal Organic Detection
Neutron imaging detected traces of food residue preserved inside the stands, providing evidence of feasting practices.
Casting Structure
The scans revealed internal voids, cooling patterns, and alloy layering. These details helped identify manufacturing techniques.
Cultural Interpretation
The stands matched known Hittite ceremonial traditions. Internal structure helped reconstruct their use.
Preservation Impact
Neutron imaging allowed researchers to study stands without removing corrosion layers.
