Making Faces : Using Forensic and Archaeological Evidence

Archaeologist Prag and medical artist Neave have authored a work on the compelling story of pioneering work in reconstructing the facial appearance of ancient people. They give first hand accounts of the exciting search for evidence to recreate a likeness and explain the historical circumstances surrounding each body. Some of the deaths featured were acts of violence while others were peaceful. The book takes the reader into byways of forensic study, surgery and folklore, and reveals how the art of facial reconstruction has opened upwhole new vistas of the past.
