Hey Gerry.

I watch a *lot* of forensic tv programs, and I studied face-sculpting under a forensic sculptor, so maybe I can help. Probably after being left for so long, all that would be found are the clothing, bones, and jewelry. However, from the bones, a good forensic pathologist can tell weight, age, race, and sex. <g> They now have computer programs to do the work of a forensic sculptor, but such a person can take a plaster cast of the skull, and using pre-determined tissue depths, come up with a pretty accurate portrait of the deceased.

Laura (who knows how to do that)
