Why CT Helps Pottery Researchers
Pottery fragments often contain internal cracks, filler materials, or ancient adhesives. CT imaging reveals internal density patterns, manufacturing techniques, and hidden restoration attempts.
Detecting Repairs
CT exposes density differences caused by modern glue, plaster, or added fragments.
Reconstructing Vessels
CT allows digital reconstruction of pottery without physically altering fragments.
Preserving Archaeological Value
Museums use CT to analyze pottery while maintaining structural integrity.
