We studied the structural features in internal pores and mineral inclusions of several vessels from the Shubarat-1 archeological site in the Republic of Kazakhstan, dating to the late first millennium BC, using neutron tomography. Differences in the neutron attenuation coefficients of the constituent elements of pottery objects, as well as the high penetration capability of neutron tomography, make it possible to conduct non-destructive studies of rare ceramic vessels. By analyzing the three-dimensional tomography data, we can reconstruct the size and morphological parameters of internal pores and minerals. Based on these structural findings, we can clarify past pottery production processes.
