Woman’s face recreated from 2,000-year-old skull found in Dorset
Ms Manning said: “I then took her age, sex, weight and ethnicity into account, as these factors help determine tissue thickness.
“So, in this case, a woman, about 20 to 30 years of age, with signs of undernourishment in a period of her life.”
A digital reconstruction of the woman’s appearance will also be on display at the museum, with information on the reconstruction process and the archaeological excavations and discoveries at Kimmeridge.
Dr Martin Smith, associate professor of biological anthropology at Bournemouth University, said: “We are so happy to display and share some of our findings at Wareham Museum.”
Recent research projects by the university have uncovered a “variety of striking and important finds that are helping us to build an ever more detailed and engaging picture of life during this period”, he said.
Wareham Town Museum, which is free to visit, is currently closed for winter and reopens on 5 April.
