Rather plump looking.
I think they can get pretty close. They’ve reconstructed modern skulls of unknown missing people which were later recognized by family.
What is interesting to me is the date of death and the location of a well-worked cross that far north in England. In the seventh century Pope Gregory sent missionaries to England to revive a flagging church. Augustine of Canterbury (early 6th century – probably 26 May 604) was a monk who became the first Archbishop of Canterbury in 597. He is considered the Apostle to the English” and a founder of the English Church.
***The remains of this girl were discovered in 2012***
But, wait! How do we know it was a girl?
How do we know the ancient skeleton of “LUCY’ was also a female?
When a Supreme Court Justice cannot define the difference because she “is not a biologist” we know the world is in trouble.
Women have different hips than men
> PS. Her hair would have been plaited.
why? (just wondering, nbd)
one would think that they would plait her hair in the reconstruction if so (not saying the reconstruction is correct).
Correct! But today’s “woke” generation are not allowed to accept that.
Physiology like math don’t recognize woke
Practical reasons. Keep it out of the way and keep it clean. Also I don’t think hairstyles changed much going into later Medieval times and illustrations from that time show women often wore it plaited. She probably also may have worn a wimple for the same reasons.
I think the artist was more interested in showing the bone structure and facial features than what her hair would have looked like.

Forensic anthropologists do it. You can see quite a few on websites about unidentified homicide victims.
Okay.
Fine.
Who funded this - any taxpayer money?
How many $$$ did it cost to simply satisfy someone’s curiosity?
hmmmm, yeahhh
thanks
How do they know she identified as a girl?..................
Read later.
There’s one I haven’t heard.
“…became the first Archbishop of Canterbury in 597. “
I’d wondered how far back that office went. The spread of Christianity is itself a sign of The Holy Spirit. Think of the world it was spreading so successfully into and all it accomplished as it did so.
the face looks more gaelic to me. a little too round faced for one’s normal picture of an anglo saxon. but maybe that’s just me.
