Something I came across.. Would be good to find an even better version.

The pictures shown above are computer reconstructions of one of the skulls found inside the Tomb of the Eagles.

The skull was found in the cairn during the excavations in the 1970s, but it has taken 30 years and some of the latest computer equipment to give her a face.

Maria Vanezis, of the department of forensic medicine and science at Glasgow University, created the pictures of the 5,000-year-old woman in 2000.
