Time domain THz spectroscopy and 3D imaging are used for non-destructive analyses of modern pottery which was made using ancient and traditional technology. Our study demonstrates that the internal structure of this of Pre-Columbian civilizations Mochica type pottery can be revealed with the help of X-Ray images used as references.
