| Summary |
This four-part series follows the fascinating work of world-renowned scientist Professor Sue Black and her team at the University of Dundee as they analyse skeletons of everyday people from across the ages, opening new windows on the history of our forebears by literally revealing the person behind the skeleton.Using the full arsenal of modern forensic anthropology, remarkable stories emerge from long forgotten bones, along with the faces of people who haven't been seen for hundreds of years. None of the skeletons are famous; all are everyday people, whose extraordinary stories would have died with them if it weren't for Sue Black and her colleagues.A skeleton unearthed in an archaeological dig in the historic borough of Southwark in London sparks a new cold case when it is found to be covered with disfiguring scars. Renowned forensics expert Professor Sue Black leads her team in an investigation that will drag them into the seediest corners of early Victorian Britain. They use the latest facial reconstruction techniques to bring the identity of one of history's missing persons back into chilling view but in the process the team discovers much more than they bargained for.
