Facial reconstruction advances
Otago Daily Times (John Gibb)
Revolutionary advances in the science of facial reconstruction may soon make it much easier to identify missing people, including crime victims, when little more than a skull has been found.
Dr George Dias, a University of Otago senior lecturer in anatomy and structural biology, is excited by a series of recent developments which he believes will deliver huge benefits in forensic facial reconstruction within five years.
Dr Dias, who is part of a university forensic research group, said big advances were occurring both in the means of determining the individual characteristics of a person's face from their skull, and in the technology used to create a subsequent physical reconstruction of the head and face. . . .
The latest reconstruction had used computerised CT scan data obtained of a 2300-year-old skull, which forms part of an Egyptian mummy, long housed at the Otago Museum.
