Abstract:	This paper describes some preliminary results of a research program carried out by the Institute of Radiology of Policlinico Gemelli (Rome)and Is.M.E.O. (Rome). Our goal is the reconstruction of the forming techniques of protohistoric ceramics of the IsMEO collection testing different radiographic techniques. The ceramics come from recent excavations in central Thailand and previous Italian excavations in eastern Iran: the two assemblages were selected as, together, they represent a wide range of manufacturing techniques, from coil-building to molding and various forms of wheelthrowing. We discuss the use of xeroradiography and digital radiography with photostimulable phosphor receptors, as well as some implications of these techniques for the archaeological reconstruction of ancient ceramic technologies.
