Internal Structure
CT scans showed internal cracks that indicated how anchors broke during maritime use.
Tool Mark Identification
Density differences revealed carving sequences and tool angles used to shape the anchors.
Historical Context
The anchors reflected maritime trade along the Levantine coast. CT imaging provided new data on seafaring technology.
Preservation Impact
CT imaging allowed researchers to study anchors without handling them extensively.
