AI Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on the grave goods of Kha and Merit from ancient Egypt, housed at the Museo Egizio in Turin, using advanced techniques like neutron imaging and gamma analysis.
- - This non-destructive research revealed detailed structural information about the inner contents of alabaster and metallic vases found in the tombs.
- - Findings included insights into the vases' isotopic and phase composition, enhancing our understanding of their contents and potential purposes in ancient practices.
Article Abstract
Artifacts from the Egyptian grave goods of Kha and Merit preserved at the Museo Egizio in Turin were studied through a combination of non-destructive and non-invasive neutron and gamma techniques (namely neutron imaging, neutron diffraction and prompt gamma activation analysis). The results provide unprecedented morphological reconstructions of the inner parts of the two alabaster and metallic vases and their isotopic and phase composition, thereby extending our knowledge of the hitherto unknown content of the vases and their functions.
