The Science and Art of the Facial Reconstruction Process
Science and Art of Facial Reconstruction video
Museum Specialist Gay Malin provides a step-by-step description of how artists go about rebuilding the features of a long-dead person, based only on the shape of their skull. This video focuses on the reconstruction of facial features from a skull of a woman who died 300 years ago in Albany. Her remains were excavated from the cemetery associated with the Albany Almshouse (1826-1926). The video also provides interesting details on how the artist decides to mold unknowable features like ear shape and body fat measures.
