Archaeologists reconstructed this face
from a 700-year-old skeleton. Found
buried face down in a medieval cemetery,
‘Context 958’ was over 40 when he died
and lived a hard, working-class life. Since
most historical records are about the rich
or famous, skeletons like his are one of
the only ways to learn about how
the ordinary lived. Source Source 2
