The compelling story of pioneering work in reconstructing the facial appearance of ancient people from their skulls. A Minoan priestess, 'Lindow Man' and most spectacularly Philip II of Macedon spring to life through the work of numerous specialists ranging from dentists to geneticists and archaeologists to radiologists. Now very reasonably priced in paperback.

Review

Forensic archaeology has come into its own in recent years. The science has been making news in odd corners of the world for being used to identify the remains of long-lost Japanese soldiers on remote Pacific islands and for examining whether 19th-century American presidents might have met with foul play. In this accessible study, archaeologists John Prag and Richard Neave look into the world of "making faces"--reconstructing human forms from bits of bone, giving physical presence to the long-since dead. Among their subjects are King Midas of ancient Greek legend and the famous "bog man" of Lindow Moss, England.
