Abstract:

In 2011, Bailuzhou, Anhui Province, discovered the well-preserved tombs of the nobility of Chu during the Warring States Period. The skull, which is well-preserved and characteristic of the Mongolian race in South Asia, is supposed to be female, aged 35-39, according to the skeletal form. To show the appearance of an aristocratic woman in the Warring States region and enrich the archaeological diversity of the region to provide research materials, The cranium and mandible of an individual were digitized using a high-resolution CT device. Then, a 3D general shape of the facial appearance was approximately estimated by means of a computerized craniofacial reconstruction method based on partial least squares regression. Finally, according to the archaeological materials and assumption, the 3D model processing software and texture mapping technique were used to revise the facial appearance and create the digital model of hair decoration. It improves the realism of the facial appearance and vividly reproduces the morphological features of the female face of the aristocratic woman in the warring States period.

Key words: Facial reconstruction, Three-dimensional technology, Chu Tomb of Warring States Period, Bailuzhou
