OK, here's another one to try. As before (Jarl :mad:), please don't reveal the identity of the skull if you know who it belongs to.

Here's a hint for analysis, the extreme length and narrowness of the nasal cavity should tell you something very specific about his nose.

My first impression concerning the facial region is strong Dinaroid morphology (f.i. the long convex nose and long upperface region), although the neurocranium has nexto Dinaroid also Nordoid/Mediterranoid (size of skull is unknown to me) elements.

Second it is male, based upon the roundnes of the edges around the eyesockets, the (though small) inion hook and the browridges.

For sofar a I can say that it is Europoid male of adult age, Dinaroid with Nordoid/Mediterranoid admixture

The sketches, don't poke too much fun now. I'm a n00b. :P

I guess a Keltic Nordid of some sort? Reminds me of http://www.theapricity.com/snpa/troe294.htm

Alright, so the answer to this skull is: Nicholas Copernicus. What follows is a reconstruction of his face based on this skull.

Given his ethnicity, I think Keltic Nordid would be a stretch, so The Black Prince was probably closest. The nose is definitely Dinariform, but the occipital rounding precludes a purely Dinarid classification.
