Man shot in face 5,600 years ago was actually killed by arrow to chest
Briefly

Cicero Moraes, lead author of the study, highlighted that this forensic reconstruction was unique because it focused not just on the individual's face but also on the injuries. He stated: 'Although the arrow in the face is visually striking and uncomfortable, it was the one in the chest that hit important structures, which led to his death.' The complexity of this case shows the importance of investigating both appearance and the cause of death in forensic studies.
Mr. Moraes elaborated on the reconstruction process: 'We began by virtually rebuilding the bones of the Porsmose man using photographs and measurement data. We then reconstructed the face employing various forensic techniques to create a bust that not only showcased his facial features but also included areas impacted by the arrows.' This meticulous approach ensured accurate representation of both the man and the fatal injuries he endured.
