Summary
This is a poster submission presented at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Computed tomography (CT) is an imaging technique increasigly used in archaeology and in traditional ceramic research. Specifically, macro-CT is useful to characterize overall morphology, paste homogeneity, wall thickness, hidden cracks, contents and defects and coatings such as glazes and paints. All this aspects are very important in the field of tipology and conservation. The aim of this work is to characterizate some traditional ceramic pieces from NW Spain (extinct production centers from Bonxe - in Lugo province - and Portomourisco - in Ourense province) with macro-CT as support both for the archaeological study and for a more complete archaeometric study of these ceramic assemblages.
