digital reconstruction of the Roman skull of Leasowe Man

Conservation technologies digitally reconstructed the skull of Leasowe Man, part of the only Roman skeleton to be found on Merseyside. The three extremely fragile pieces were laser scanned and put together on computer. A reconstructed replica of the complete skull was then used to recreate the face of Leasowe Man for the former exhibition ‘Living with the Romans’ at National Museums Liverpool.

Have a look at images taken during the replication process in the image gallery below.
