John De Strivelyn

A medieval Scottish knight, John De Strivelyn died in 1378. His remains were found at Stirling Castle underneath a long-lost 12-century royal chapel. This image was created using advanced digital scanning combined with replication. Once that was ready, a medical artist painted the final result.

Whitehawk Woman

This woman lived as much as 5,600 years ago and died before the age of 25. It’s possible she died during childbirth since her remains contained the remains of a fetus in her pelvic area. She was excavated from one of Britain’s earliest Neolithic sites which once were the Whitehawk Enclosure.
