The work has been carried out by specialists in the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification (CAHID) at the University of Dundee, one of the world's leading centres for facial reconstruction.
Caroline Erolin, Lecturer in Forensic and Medical Art at CAHID, said, "His grave lay slightly under an important sarcophagus burial, which had resulted in excellent preservation of his skull making it the best candidate among the skeletons for facial reconstruction." ...
"The burial of this man was one of eight burials which were interred inside a small stone church or chapel which predates Lincoln Castle and was previously unknown," said Cecily Spall from FAS Heritage.
"Osteological analysis identified the skeleton as that of a man aged between 36 and 45 years old. He had suffered from a range of degenerative bone diseases suggesting an active and strenuous lifestyle. His body was buried in both a wooden coffin and cloth shroud.
"High-precision radiocarbon dating indicates he died between AD1035 to 1070, just before the Norman Conquest. Isotope analysis of his bones and teeth suggests that he originated in eastern England and could well have been born and bred in Lincolnshire."
Other significant finds at Lincoln Castle include a limestone sarcophagus that once lay under the floor of the church, a rare discovery which attracted national media attention.
There is also a Roman bronze eagle's wing from the late 1st century AD, possibly part of a grand imperial statue that stood in the nearby forum, and a stone scratched with the names of prisoners awaiting transportation to Australia.

Mike Meyers?
a beetles haircut...I’m convinced
Before????? I'd say that 1066 was inside that window, Since all 6 major engagements were within 100 miles of the east coast of England (including north and south of Lincolnshire), this poor guy may have been have been a causality .
Very interesting.
Um - he lived a little bit before the Beatles, I’m afraid. There’s no way to tell other that contemporaneously made portraits of the era what kind of “hairstyles” were adopted in those days but it couldn’t have been taken from the Beatles. Likely people just cut their hair with sheep shearing implements and left it at that.
So, what yer sayin’ is that the Beatles had Saxon haircuts?
I’m saying there’s an influence there by the recreator. Absolutely no reason to believe that’s how he wore hair.
Yeah, someone screwed the pooch on that one. :’) Weird too, because a quick websearch is a great way to check info like that. :’(
Yeah, baby, yeah!
Who’s the modern dude above? Looks more like him that my choice!
:’)
Darn, a dead ringer!
Thanks....
