Inhaltsangabe:

What did Robert the Bruce really look like? Or a Bronze Age man from Lewis? Find out in this fascinating look at the techniques and detective work involved in facial reconstruction. This book describes how innovations in science and technology can assist in producing replica skulls from damaged or fragile archaeological material, and how the clues gained from contemporary descriptions, portraits and busts enable us too give faces back to our ancestors. Six case studies are examined including Robert the Bruce, George Buchanan, and an ancient Egyptian princess.
