[comp.graphics] Graphics in Archaeology

hucaby@ms.uky.edu (Dave Hucaby) (03/04/89)

Help! I saw a news feature some time ago about someone in England
who was working on a computer graphics system that would take data from
a skull (found at an archaeological site) and produce a 3-D image
of what the original face might have looked like. However, it all
happened to quickly to jot any details down, and I have forgotten
even what program I saw this on....

Does anybody know who was doing this research, and how one might
contact them? And, does anyone know of some similar research going on?

Thanx for any tips!

ME TOO! I'd like to find out anything about archaeological/anthropological
applications for computer science.

Thanks(x)

What I'd like is a system that would take data of a face 
and produce a 3-D image of what the skull looked like ... :-)
