A new virtual unfolding technique was applied to a silver scroll excavated in Jerash, Jordan, in 2014. As result of the unfolding, 17 lines of writing are clearly visible in the unfolded volumetric data that is published here.
The original micro-CT data was published in the following reference: Lichtenberger, Achim; Raja, Rubina (2020): Jerash Silver Scroll: Computed Tomography Data. figshare. Dataset. https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.12136380.v1
