Facial Reconstruction

Facial reconstruction is a process used to recreate the appearance of a person’s face, often for identification in forensic science or historical research. This can involve physical methods, like sculpting, or digital techniques using computer software. Forensic artists study the skull's structure, including features like the spacing of the eyes and nose shape, to create an accurate likeness. This method helps solve criminal cases or brings closure to families of missing persons by providing a visual representation of unidentified remains. In archaeology, it can also recreate ancient faces from skeletal remains to better understand past cultures.
