Archaeologists reconstruct Medieval man’s face from 600-year-old skull

Archaeologists in Scotland reconstructed the face of a Medieval man who lived more than 600 years ago.

The man’s skull was found during the redevelopment of an Art Gallery in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 2015, Sky News reported.

Researchers from the AOC Archaeology Group then reconstructed his face and dubbed him Skeleton 125, according to the report.

The man was believed to be 46 years old and just 5-foot-2 and suffered from extensive dental disease, according to the report.

SK 125 was one of more than 60 full skeletons and more than 4,000 bone fragments found during the redevelopment of the gallery, the BBC reported.

“SK 125 has provided us with a first fascinating glimpse of one of the people buried on the site of Aberdeen Art Gallery over 600 years ago,” Dr. Paula Milburn told the news station after the reconstruction.
