A young woman who was buried in a stone-lined grave in Scotland over 4,000 years ago has had her skeletal remains reconstructed. A bust-like reconstruction along with a 3D print of her head has been created from CT scans of her skull, and her left side of the cranium was rebuilt with a mandible.
The forensic artist Oscar Nilsson researched various aspects of the woman, including her age, sex, weight, and ethnicity, to determine tissue thickness but made educated guesses based on other burials from the region and time where her DNA was better preserved. The reconstructed Upper Largie Woman is now displayed at Kilmartin Museum, serving as a focal point for visitors to contemplate her life, and is "sensitively reburied" in the same position she was originally buried in.
