There was an article in the Times as well. Had forgotten just how long ago its discovery was. Some interesting facial reconstructions also-shame its so far away from me.
I remember once seeing a programme (Horizon or similar) that followed a similar process that involved a skeleton some 300 years old. If memory serves me it was was in the Derbyshire or Staffordshire area.
There were known to be living persons from the man's family still in the area. A forensic sculptor was given the task of making a face without seeing any pictures of those relatives and when finished, the similarities were striking.
the technique has been used successfully to match unidentified skeletons with missing people - a person working with the UK charity 'Missing' was a pioneer of this forensic application
