Investigation of Terra Cotta artefacts with terahertz

Applied Physics A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Terahertz Time Domain Imaging has been used in the last few years for the investigation of cultural heritage. In this article, the authors demonstrate the possibility to apply it for the investigation of clay artifacts. Tomographic images were obtained of a model in reflection, and an Egyptian vessel in transmission.
