More on the Pittsburgh child mummy

Thanks to Tony Marson for this one, which is accompanied by a different scanning image than in my previous post: "An earlier scan had showed that the child had an unusually large head. The follow-up, carried out with more up-to-date equipment, was hoping to explain the malformation, but researchers have still not discovered its cause and also remain unable to confirm the sex of the deceased youngster. However, such good images of bone structure have been obtained that they hope to eventually a put a facial reconstruction of the child on display at the museum."
