This work seeks an understanding of the elaboration of ceramic whistles in the community of Uayma, Yucatan. As part of the objectives, the tangible and intangible characteristics that involve the process of creating six selected aerophones from a larger sample of twelve sound artifacts were documented. The research frames the links of material culture, knowledge and technology used in the manufacture of aerophones, as well as the worldview of producers. The results of the morphology, acoustics and functionality of these artifacts are presented through an X-ray imaging study applied to the sample in order to understand the variants existing in the internal and external forms that regulate the conditions of execution, as well as the acoustics and functionality of the instrument. The present study adds, as an interpretive option, to the multiple proposals derived from the theme of production of ceramic sound artifacts for the Maya area.

High speed imaging, including the ultrafast synchrotron X-ray imaging facility at the beamline 32-ID-B of the Advanced Photon Source (APS), was used to study in-situ (1) the dynamics of ultrasonic bubbles inside a water suspension with an acoustic field of varied pressure; and (2) the interaction of a pulsing bubble at a primary dendrite arm tip inside a succinonitrile-1wt% camphor organic transparent alloy. A simple finite element based model was developed to simulate the stress distribution inside the dendrite due to the pulsing of the ultrasonic bubble, providing more evidence for understanding quantitatively the ultrasonic wave induced dendrite fragmentation phenomenon.

Diagnostic physical methods are increasingly applied to Cultural Heritage both for scientific investigations and conservation purposes. In particular, the X-ray imaging techniques of computed tomography (CT) and digital radiography (DR) are non-destructive investigation methods to study an object, being able to give information on its inner structure. In this paper, we present the results of the X-ray imaging study on an ancient Egyptian statuette (Late Period 722–30 BCE) belonging to the collection of Museo Egizio in Torino and representing an Egyptian goddess called Taweret, carved on wood and gilded with some colored details. Since few specific studies have been focused on materials and techniques used in Ancient Egypt for gilding, a detailed investigation was started in order to verify the technical features of the decoration in this sculpture. Specifically, DR and CT analyses have been performed at the Centro Conservazione e Restauro “La Venaria Reale” (CCR), with a new high resolution flat-panel detector, that allowed us to perform tomographic analysis reaching a final resolution better than the one achievable with the previous apparatus operating in the CCR.
