The member of the Únětice culture was buried with a unique amber necklace, but her DNA is the real treasure when it comes to recreating her appearance.
You can now see what a woman who lived near the Czech city of Pardubice in the Bronze Age looked like.
This image is not an artistic guess. New forms of DNA analysis plus unusually well-preserved personal items allow us to now make a highly accurate picture.
The woman, estimated to have died at around age 35, came from the upper social strata. Her grave in Mikulovice in Eastern Bohemia is one of the richest in Europe from her era.
She had fair skin, brown hair, widely spaced brown eyes, a prominent chin, and a petite figure adorned with bronze and gold jewelry and a beautiful amber necklace.
Bringing her back to what she looked like took the combined efforts of experts in several fields. The model was completed by anthropologist Eva Vaníčková and sculptor Ondřej Bílek from the Laboratory of Anthropological Reconstruction of the Moravian Museum (MZM) in cooperation with archaeologist Michal Ernée from the Institute of Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Science (AVČR) in Prague.
Her grave is the richest one for a woman Únětice culture, a group that lived in Central Europe from about 2300 to 1600 B.C. The culture is named for the village of Únětice, near Prague. A large burial site was found there in 1879. Other sites have now been found across Central Europe.

Quite right about the ‘burgs, but I wasn’t thinking about the British royals. Must have been a different continental royal house, about whom it was joked that they couldn’t be hanged because no chins.
[snip] Numerous members of the family showed specific facial deformities: an enlarged lower jaw with an extended chin known as mandibular prognathism or “Habsburg jaw”, a large nose with hump and hanging tip (”Habsburg nose”), and an everted lower lip (”Habsburg lip”). The latter two are signs of maxillary deficiency. A 2019 study found that the degree of mandibular prognathism in the Habsburg family shows a statistically significant correlation with the degree of inbreeding. A correlation between maxillary deficiency and degree of inbreeding was also present but was not statistically significant.[21][22] Other scientific studies, however, dispute the ideas of any linkage between fertility and consanguinity.

It’s not a bad guess to suppose that everyone at that time was “ripe” regardless of age. :^)
I would guess most of the world population is still on the ripe side.
I can see now why the men in a hunter-gatherer society were out hunting. A lot.
Pretty sure a reconstruction of one of the men of her village would show why that might not be true. ;^)
Interesting!
I don’t find her that homely
Her eyes could be bigger
She’s obviously white and privileged and racist I’m sure
How do they know kw it was a woman? Are they biologisits?
Yup, they ca. Get pretty close- lots of cases have been solved by this process. .oke you say it isn’t perfect, UT sometimes it’s pretty close
Just a Bronze Age gal trapped in a Techno-world.
That would solve all this nonsense.
Reading the articles would indeed solve all the nonsense that gets posted in this and many other topics.
Any archeobioacoustical specialists out there?
LOL I thought the same thing
She’s ready for the greenskin WAAAAAAAAAAAGH.
