Description Within 2003-2007 we examined over 40 various archeological specimen (skeletal remains, artifacts, sculptures, burial vases) in cooperation with various archeological and historical institutions. The specimen were examined on digital X-ray, multidetector CTs or both modalities, if found advantageous. The raw data were further digitally processed on standard diagnostic CT workstation in a manner that would yield the best visualisation of elements searched for by the archeologist/ anthropologist/ art historian. X-ray and CT offer easily valuable information that might represent a important data for the archeologist, anthropologist or art historian. Non-destructive nature of imaging is of utmost importance in artifacts with immeasurable historical value. New scanners and postprocessing software gain more naturalistic and detailed imaging and information than ever.
