In Making Faces two British archaeologists describe the detective work that has made it possible to re-create in clay the faces of such famous figures as King Midas, Philip of Macedon, and Lindow Man. Using the evidence provided by ancient remains, John Prag and Richard Neave have performed pioneering work that rivals the stories of these famous dead in sheer drama and excitement. The stories of these ancient figures from history are interwoven here with those of the scientists piecing together the elements to reveal the ancient faces.
Facial reconstruction brings together the work of numerous specialists, ranging from dentists to geneticists, archaeologists, and radiologists. In this book, the authors explain the historical circumstances surrounding each face reconstructed and give first-hand accounts of the exciting search for evidence to re-create a likeness. They develop, as well, the implications of the re-formed faces.
