Going Back and Forth: Case Studies of Historic Facial Reconstruction

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Forensic Archaeology: Research & Practice" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

In the field of Forensic Anthropology, artistic facial reconstruction is used to aid in the identification of unknown human remains when other scientific techniques and approaches have failed. In Forensic Archaeology, the same techniques can be utilized to bring historical remains back to life. In the context of historical case studies, several methods of forensic facial reconstructions for skeletal and post mortem remains are discussed.
