Mediaeval warrior with axe-split face who died in savage battle brought back to life

Given the limited amount of facial parameters preserved in the skull, some parts of the warrior’s face — such as the size of his eyes, mouth and nose — are projections based on statistical data.

The choice of hair and skin tone, meanwhile, were more of a subjective choice on Mr Morales’ part, and represent one possibility for how the man might have looked.

Whether it was the axe blow that killed the warrior, or something else, remains uncertain.

Mr Morales explained: “It is difficult to estimate this with the skull alone.

“But surely such an injury would not be an easy thing to treat, considering the year and the reality at the time it was inflicted.”
