The main problem with face reconstrucio...Hmm, well.<br />The main problem with face reconstrucion is, that its unknown how deep the soft material was.<br /><br />Usually the thickness of the material is done to match the average of a person this gender, age and ETHNICY.<br /><br />Wich would mean, the chosen ethnicy influences the thickness of the soft material and by this, the looks of the outcome.<br /><br />In this case it means: Its the skull of the real 5000 years old woman, but the soft material is the average of a modern Maltese woman.Fantyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07969348276219179258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-18225372987283356332013-05-13T20:56:47.876+03:002013-05-13T20:56:47.876+03:00What was she genetically ?What was she genetically ?truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622344688109770244noreply@blogger.com
