3D Printing Reveals the Face of 9,500-Year-Old Man

Researchers with the British Museum have revealed the face of the man behind the 9,500-year-old Jericho Skull. They reverse-engineered the ritual practice that created the artifact, which is considered to be the oldest portrait in the museum's vast collection. The truncated human skull, with sea shells for eyes and covered in old plaster, has been sitting in a display case since 1954, after it was excavated near the modern West Bank city of Jericho.
