‘Ava’
In the Northern part of Scotland lies the site of Achavanich, a quite mysterious place thanks to the famous horseshoe-shaped arrangement of stones. In 1987, researchers reconstructed the face of a woman whose remains they found on the site. She was called ‘Ava’ and they concluded she was between 18 and 22 years old upon her death. Her skeletal remains date back to over 3,700 years ago.

What ‘Ava’ Really Looked Like
Thanks to archaeologists Maya Hoole and Hew Morrison of the ‘Achavanich Beaker Burial Project’ and their facial reconstruction of Ava, many details on the history and anthropology of the Bronze Age were discovered. Ava’s DNA made it possible for the scientists to give her a new look and us an idea of how she would have looked today.
