Anthropologists and archaeologists from the University of Life Sciences in Wrocław and artists from the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław reconstructed the appearance of the inhabitants of Upper Lusatia from over 400 years ago.

The university announced that the reconstructions were made by the team of Prof. Barbara Kwiatkowska from the University of Life Sciences in Wrocław and it is one of the results of research on human skulls – two male and one female – found in an early medieval stronghold in Goeda, in western Saxony, currently stored in the City Museum in Bautzen.

The reconstructions are presented in the museum in Bautzen at an exhibition devoted to the early Middle Ages in Upper Lusatia – a geographic and historical land located today on both sides of the Polish-German border. The exhibition is the result of the implementation of the Polish-German scientific and educational project “1000 years of Upper Lusatia – people, castles, cities”, allowing viewers to get to know the life of the former Slavs.
