Visualization in anthropology: Reconstruction of human fossils from multiple pieces

Abstract

We describe a new way to reconstruct human fossils from fragmentary fossil material. Unlike the traditional method of making physical models using clay, this new approach is based on geometrical modeling and visualization of digitized fossil data. It can provide anthropologists with both quantifiable, computer-based geometric (CAD) models and physical plastic reconstructions of fossils.
