When would we need a facial reconstruction?

Facial reconstruction is currently used in two principal contexts: forensic science and archaeology. In this video, Professor Caroline Wilkinson explains the circumstances where she has been asked to conduct a facial reconstruction.

Caroline is Director of Face Lab, where she conducts research in many fields including facial identification, craniofacial reconstruction and facial animation. Caroline collaborates with museums, the police and the media to create and advise on craniofacial depictions.
