X-ray scattering tensor tomography with a random wavefront modulator to study 3D microstructures in archaeological skeletal remains
Abstract We present an application of X-ray scattering tensor tomography with a random wavefront modulator to resolve the orientation of microstructures in archaeological skeletal remains. We experimentally investigated two fragments from different tissue types — cortical bone and a root dentine — commonly analyzed in archaeological and palaeoanthropological research. This study hints at the potential to advance methodologies for both archaeological research and clinical applications.
