MRI Technology Reveals Secrets of Ancient Roman Harbor Structures

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Phys.org

Researchers have used NMR methods, similar to MRI technology, to analyze rare wooden structures from an ancient Roman harbor discovered in Naples, Italy. These non-invasive techniques allow for detailed examination of the wood's structure and preservation without damaging the samples, which have been preserved by an aquifer for centuries. The study, published in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, highlights the potential of NMR in archaeology and other fields, with future applications expected to expand as the technology becomes more portable and affordable.
