The Face Lab And How Facial Reconstruction Works

The final, visible product of the Conquest Man project is the facial reconstruction created by the Face Lab at Liverpool John Moores University.

Face Lab is one of the leading centers in the world for forensic and archaeological facial reconstruction.

The team works at the intersection of forensic science, anatomy, and digital technology, applying rigorous methods developed in the context of forensic identification, where accuracy matters in legal proceedings, to the reconstruction of historical faces.

The process of facial reconstruction from skeletal remains begins with detailed documentation of the skull.
