The 3-D Scanning Brilliance of Bruno Frohlich | National Geographic


curiosity is the driving force in what
we’re doing I think and that curiosity
makes you nervous because now you have
to actually do something
my name is Bruno Florrick and a physical
anthropologist and I’ve been working for
Smithsonian since 1978 if it’s fine to
reconstruct the history
I would say that any object where there
is some kind of internal features we
want to learn about a CT scanning and
x-ray technology is probably the most
efficient we have managed to scan almost
anything you can put for that opening
fossum status our bones in music and
cements in our objects spacesuits from
and Space Museum and a lot of mummies of
course the time in Washington was very
very valuable to work with people work
with equipment
but I can spend most of my time in Milan
and do a lot of the data analysis and
publishing and writing sometimes a work
for extended time from late afternoon
and I work into the early morning 3 4 or
5 o’clock
we studied farmer as part of the human
culture or whatever percent sin in
society in Mongolia for example but they
asked me to study all the mummies and we
find a lot of those mummies have been
people have been executed they’re being
executed by knives and the problem necks
of strangulation and an axis and the CT
scanner help us to identify all those
lesions
the beauty of all of it is we are
non-destructive and non-invasive I mean
you have this beautiful piece of
equipment and you can put something food
and you can see inside the historical
process can teach us how people reacted
to changes in different aspects of their
lives
and I think we could learn a lot from
that on how we deal with the similar
processes today
