Archaeologists recreate face of man who lived 600 years ago in Scottland

The skull of a Medieval Scot was unearthed during the construction of an Aberdeen art gallery in 2015, along with the remains of 60 others. AOC Archaeology Group recreated the face of the man that the skull belonged t0. He was a 47-year old with bad teeth and who stood 5'3" tall.

From Sky News:

Dr Paula Milburn, from the archaeology group, said: "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. "The ongoing post-excavation work is examining the remains in detail and will provide us with amazing information on the kind of people buried here, including their ages, gender, health and lifestyles."

Dozens of other full skeletons were also found at the site, but have not been reconstructed like SK 125.
