CAT scanning and terra cotta

From: Barbara Appelbaum <*aandh<-a*> Date: Monday, August 8, 2005 · aandh<-a

I have a problem concerning the examination of an archaeological
terra cotta.  I am looking into the possibility of having it
CAT-scanned, but don't know whether normal X-rays (if that is what
is used) would penetrate up to about 12 inches of terra cotta.  I
would appreciate hearing from someone with experience that would
shed light on this.
