I guess we had sharp instruments at the time so that they could shave their heads but is that an artistic license thing?

The structure is right of course...but everything else including the flying ears is license....thin lips, fat lips, thin, pudgy,......blah, blah, blah...
I would like to see 20 of these experts in separate rooms produce almost an identical form....then I might be a believer....unless they went to the same school.

Hrolf!!!!
I wondered where he had got to. :)

All is missing is the lip ring and cell phone attached to his ear and he could be the kid down the street...

They may have a good deal right ‘ here; but suspect he looked a little less ordinary than this modeling.

If I could go back in time...
...and encounter people who look like people I see each day...
How would they react to me? With curiosity? Would they tear me to pieces just cuz?

I’m fascinated by the practice but agree with you on accuracy. Most of these models are just guesses.

Ms Barbers work revealed that the Viste Boy had scaphocephaly (boat-head), a congenital deformity which makes the skull long and narrow. She left the modelled head hairless to show this.

"yep.. he sure looks better than the Occupy Wall Street crowd."
Perhaps a lot cleaner too!

Did they find an electric head shaver with him? None of these recreations ever look much like the person. He looks like Shrek to me.
