The project was not easy for the forensic team especially since the skull broke from the pressure of the sediment during excavation. Thankfully, modern technology could be used in reconstructing the skull which had broken into 96 separate pieces. To reconfigure the skull, the team used photogrammetry, which is a process that makes use of several cameras placed at different angles in order to make a 3D image. The Brazilian Team of Forensic Anthropology and Forensic Odontology was responsible for the project.
