Fig 1.

An example of (A) a projection and (B) a sinogram of the Antikythera Mechanism. In 1(A), the Mechanism can be seen in the top half of the image, along with an Allen key which was added as a known target and support structures. The Allen key and support structures are responsible for the faint, narrow lines in the sinogram (1(B)).

Percentage of pixels that exceed a threshold of mean + 5.3 standard deviations.

A cluster of outliers can be seen around projection 950.

Fig 4.

A magnified image of part of fragment A showing gear wheel b3, reconstructed using four methods to compensate for the missing projections.

Fig 4A does not correct for missing projections; Fig 4B erroneously assumes 27 missing projections as had been previously assumed; Fig 4C correctly takes 25 missing projections and replaces the missing projections with grey images with a value of 64,000; Fig 4D uses a weighed mean of the projections on either side of the missing projection.

The 223-lunar month Saros Dial.

Red text is traced from data; blue reconstructed from context; green is uncertain. Reproduced with permission from [6].

Fig 6.

Deciphering eclipse times for Glyphs 13 and 125 on the Saros Dial.

The X-ray CT images were reconstructed assuming 27 and 25 missing projections. Annotations shown in orange were traced from the data; those in blue (highlighted with a box) were inferred from the data or context and those in green (with a box) are of uncertain interpretation. The diagonal lines in some of the X-ray CT images are the result of dead pixels in the detector.
