Information från insidan : En datortomografisk undersökning av gropkeramiska lerfiguriner från Tråsättra / Information from the inside : A microcomputed tomography analysis of ceramic figurines attributed to the Pitted Ware Culture

This thesis presents how a non-destructive method allows for analysis of archeological material, using three Neolithic anthropomorphic figurines attributed to the Pitted Ware Culture. Anthropomorphic figurines from this period are rare in Sweden and traditional destructive methods, such as thin section petrography is therefore not an option. Using µCT – Micro-Computed tomography as an archaeological method, information can be produced regarding the ceramic composition, forming technique and ornamentation of these figurines. Furthermore, this thesis shows how new advancements in computer imaging technology, such as 3D volume rendering of µCT-data, allows for the reconstruction of organic inclusions.
