Talk:Yde Girl

The external link isn't in English and the picture of her reconstructed head is very small. Basically it's an unhelpful link.Celsiana 19:56, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Reconstruction?
In the 1992 facial reconstruction of Yde Girl she looks like a monster... the forehead is huge... is this really scientific? --Againme (talk) 19:55, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

If you read John Prag and Richard Neave's book "Making Faces" it goes into great detail about the reconstruction of Yde Girl's face. It says about the reconstruction, "when it came to giving the girl back her face we came up against very severe problems as a result of the distortion and damage that her skull had suffered." Such was the damage that they could not make a cast of her skull, so they used image-scanning techniques. It might be safe to assume that the reconstruction was probably not exactly the way Yde girl looked when she was alive. In fact, she may have looked a lot different and this was at best, an educated guess. It's still fascinating to see the face of this unfortunate young woman staring back at you across two thousand years. And wonder just what happend to her and why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.119.179.21 (talk) 07:48, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
