Those are amazing. Almost call the sock MOD in coloring. Wow.

So interesting and it is nice to know the fibers no longer needs to be destroyed with these new imaging processes.

Thank, this is very interesting. I still cannot wrap my head around the colors.

But I DID remember to contribute a tiny few dollars to the The Guardian after reading your post, Liza.

A fascinating article, Liza. This is clearly very good news for museums especially....and is an article I wish I read a month ago, as I just had ink analysis done on an item in my collection, and they had to take a minute sample of the ink to do it.

I love the ways in which new technology is used to analyse the ancient world. Great article. I recently saw the fabulous egyptians collection at the British Museum... blown away.
