Brent Seales at the UK Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments
was involved in a project to create readable images of texts from
papyrus scrolls without opening them using scanning techniques. Lead
might be even an easier material to scan because I assume impressions in
the lead will be even more pronounced. Seales email is: [log in to unmask]
and his web site is http://www.vis.uky.edu/description_Seales.php.
Tell them not to unroll it.

I'm wondering if the lead itself would be a shield to the scanning process.
Isn't lead a shield for x-rays etc?

I sure hope so! Are x-rays what are used for scanning? Does lead block
all rays?
