“…Both recurrent laryngeal nerves usually hook around the respective aortic arches5',7 8 The usual type encloses the trachea and oesophagus. It is believed that the case with the trachea alone may not have been a true double aortic arch, but rather due to some anomalous artery from the arch of the aorta.…”

“…Such scepticism has not, however, had a discernible impact on international museums both great and small. As is claimed within a number of research papers (though not based on actual studies), depicting an individual's facial appearance for museum display provides the museum visitor with an immediate and personal communication about the past, and as such is thought to offer the non-specialist a more familiar and understandable view of human remains, archaeology, history, associated artefacts and related research endeavours (Balueva, Veselovskaya, and Rasskazova 2010, Boutin et al 2012, Cesarani et al 2004, Gill-Robinson et al 2006, Musgrave et al 1995, Neave 1979a, Needham, Wilkinson, and Knüsel 2003, Poynter 1915). …”

Hayes, S. (2015). Faces in the museum: revising the methods of facial reconstructions. Museum Management and Curatorship, Online First Faces in the museum: revising the methods of facial reconstructions AbstractMuseum displays of faces derived from skeletal remains -typically referred to as facial reconstructions -are extraordinarily popular, and frequently function as iconic representations of a much broader engagement with collections from a particular people, time and place. Their actual ability to meaningfully represent either an individual or a museum collection is questionable, as facial reconstructions created for display and published within academic journals show an enduring preference for applying invalidated methods. Since 2002 there has been an increase in verified skull-soft tissue relationships, and these, together with research findings from related academic fields, can be incorporated within an evidence-based estimation of facial appearance. By illustration, a face given to an individual from the Museo de la Plata collection is critically revised to show how validated relationships result in a different face, and furthermore a face that is more closely aligned to what constitutes knowledge and display within the contemporary museum.
