Internal Structure
CT scans showed multiple layers of wood laminated together, reinforced with horn strips. Density differences revealed adhesive application patterns.
Manufacturing Techniques
Internal voids and seams indicated how bow components were shaped and assembled.
Cultural Interpretation
The bows matched known Anatolian military traditions. Internal structure helped reconstruct their draw strength and performance.
Preservation Impact
CT imaging allowed researchers to study fragile bows without handling them extensively.
