A highly-skilled 3D artist has brought back to life a 4,000-year-old Stone Age woman’s skull. This story can only be written after 300 grueling hours of work by archaeologist and artist Oscar Nilsson, a respected pioneer in reconstructive archaeology who recently brought the ancient woman back to life.
The woman was discovered a century ago in a stone-lined grave deep in the forests of northeastern Sweden. Beside her was a 7-year-old boy that Swedish researchers think was most probably her son. Archaeologists think the pair belonged to a nomadic group of hunters who had been following animal migrations along the 430-kilometer-long Indalsälven river.
