Cranio-facial reconstruction has its origins in the 19th century, initially to recreate and 'bring back to life' the faces of the rich and the famous. Since then, over the last 100 years, there have been various methods used to produce reconstructions for forensic identification as well as for historical or archaeological purposes. These range from the traditional sculpting methods to those based on up-to-date computer technology. When no other method of identification is available in skeletalized, badly mutilated or decomposing remains, forensic cranio-facial reconstruction may be employed to produce a face which it is hoped will trigger recognition and thus lead to a positive identification. This paper discusses the role that cranio-facial reconstruction may play in identification and its limitations.
颅面重建起源于19世纪，最初是为了重塑和“复活”富人和名人的面容。从那时起，在过去的100年里，人们使用了各种方法进行重建，用于法医鉴定以及历史或考古目的。这些方法从传统的雕刻方法到基于最新计算机技术的方法不等。当在白骨化、严重毁损或腐烂的遗骸中没有其他鉴定方法可用时，可以采用法医颅面重建来制作一张有望引发识别从而实现确定性身份鉴定的面部图像。本文讨论了颅面重建在身份鉴定中可能发挥的作用及其局限性。
