Science Week Lecture: Depicting Faces from the Bog

[berangere]

There is an interesting conference tomorrow in Dublin National Museum.
An anthropologist will explain how they reconstructed the face of a man of Iron Age, found in a bog.

This is an interesting story, there is an article about it in the independent.

The text of the article under a cut :

I found it really interesting, bogmen are quite fascinating, aren't they ? I mean, they tell us so much more than we are accustomed to hear. We can even know what they ate before they were killed !
But I must say I grinned at the

"When he saw the image, my brother rang and said, 'Ned, he is the image of my wife's cousin in the Midlands'. And it's true, he could be around today "

part... ＊holy cow, do you mean we are physically identical to persons who lived in the Iron Age ? That's absolutely incredible !!!!!!!!!＊
Well, that's something we often hear from people visiting expositions, aren't we ? "That's incredible, they look like us". Yes Sir, yes. They do.

Is anybody lucky enough to be able to attend the conference ?


ETA: Sorry about the mess with the cuts, it did not work at the two first tries, and and don't know how to remove the cuts...
