Seventh century Anglo-Saxon teen girl's face reconstructed.

Researchers have reconstructed the face of an Anglo-Saxon girl who was buried more than 1,300 years ago in Great Britain. The girl, who died around the age of 16, was buried with a gold and garnet-encrusted cross, indicating she was likely an aristocrat or royalty and one of the era’s earliest Christian converts. The research so far has revealed that she lived during the seventh century and likely traveled to England from the Alps in southern Germany. The facial reconstruction offers a new way for the public to imagine the girl as a living person, rather than an academic enigma.
