DESCRIPTION:Computed tomography (CT) has become an essential technique for
  conducting research on heritage materials. In archaeology and palaeontolo
 gy\, X-ray CT provides information on the internal and external structures
  of a specimen which facilitates investigations in several directions and 
 also the preservation of the specimens. We present some results obtained u
 sing computed tomography on the measurement of the cortical bone thickness
  of ungulate long bones to infer animal class sizes. We also present an ap
 plication of micro-CT on a specimen for determining a pre-existing degener
 ative joint disease. Finally\, we consider the possibilities of using ptyc
 hography in archaeology and palaeontology to obtain higher resolution data
 \, with examples of some of the work done at the i13 beamline at the Diamo
 nd Light Source.
