The forensic team definitely did not have an easy job, especially since pressure from the sediment unfortunately broke the skull during the excavation. Thankfully, modern technology helped a lot in the reconstruction of the 96 separate pieces of broken skull. The team used photogrammetry (a process that uses cameras that are set up at different angles to create a 3D image) in order to reconfigure the skull. This image was produced by the Brazilian Team of Forensic Anthropology and Forensic Odontology.
