"Stunning Facial Reconstruction Reveals Bronze Age Woman in Ancient Grave"

The facial reconstruction of a Bronze Age woman, known as Upper Largie Woman, has been unveiled at the Kilmartin Museum in Scotland. The woman, who died over 4,000 years ago, was buried in a stone-lined grave and lived during the Early Bronze Age. The reconstruction, created by a forensic artist using a 3D printed skull and plasticine clay, depicts a young woman with dark braided hair wearing a deer-skin outfit. Although her ethnic heritage is unknown, pottery found in her grave suggests she was part of the Beaker culture. The reconstruction is on display at the museum's permanent exhibit.
