WHAT'S INSIDE COUNTS: PALEORADIOLOGY AND NON-INVASIVE ANALYSIS OF METAL FINDS IN BRONZE AGE URNS

Paleoradiology plays an important role in archeology since its first implementation soon after discovery of X-rays. Computed tomography (CT) as a paleoradiological tool in study of ancient cremation urns is described only in few articles. The implementation of imaging techniques in the study of ancient material has added a lot to our knowledge about human past. From that time on, paleoradiology started to play an important role in many archaeological researches as it allows a fast and non-invasive access to a wide variety of ancient material.
