Episode notes
Micron-Level Precision In Ancient Vases
- CT and slice-based metrology reveal extraordinary circularity in some ancient Egyptian stone vases.
- The team measured median radial deviations as low as ~16 microns, far beyond expected manual tools.
Museum Scans Under Time Constraints
- Adam Young and Karoly scanned roughly 20–30 vessels per museum during timed appointments.
- They estimated roughly one hundred museum-piece scans so far, plus many private-collection examples.
Sample Bias Skews Perceived Rarity
- Many precise vessels exist beyond single outliers; selection bias affects measurements.
- The team filters damaged pieces, so measured samples emphasize the more-precise surviving examples.
