The project, Digital Ancient People, built the face of the man whose remains were discovered at the Lepenski Vir site in eastern Serbia in the late 1960s. His skull has been preserved in a laboratory in Belgrade. Photo: Expo Serbia Pavilion
He was about 55 when he died, was 178cm tall and weighed about 70kg. His diet consisted mostly of fish. Photo: Expo Serbia Pavilion
The skeleton was found on its back with the legs in a lotus position – an indicator of his important role in the community. Photo: Expo Serbia Pavilion

Analysis from the ancient skeletal remains helped scientists to understand the prehistoric man’s diet, movements and help determine his appearance. Photo: Expo Serbia Pavilion
The scientists combined forensic knowledge with osteology – the study of bones – to animate his face. Photo: Expo Serbia Pavilion
