9000年前的少女居然长这样儿，科学家通过3D技术重建模型

This is what Dawn may have looked like when she was alive, 9,000 years ago.

“黎明”可能在9000年前还活着的时候就是长这样的。

The face of a girl, thought to be aged between 15 and 18, has been recreated by scientists based on remains found in a cave in Greece in 1993.

一名被认为年龄在15至18岁之间的女孩的脸被科学家根据1993年在希腊洞穴发现的遗体重新塑造了出来。

The silicone model was created using CT scans and 3D printing technology.

硅胶模型是使用CT扫描和3D打印技术创建的。

She was named Avgi, Greek for Dawn, because she lived in the Mesolithic period in about 7,000 BC, considered by some to be the dawn of civilisation.

她被命名为Avgi，希腊是“黎明”的意思，因为她生活在公元前7000年的中石器时代，有些人认为这是文明的黎明时期。

According to researchers at the University of Athens, her remains suggest that:

根据雅典大学的研究人员，她的遗体表明：

She had a protruding jaw, which could have been caused by chewing on animal skin to make it into soft leather

她有一个突出的下巴，这可能是由咀嚼动物皮肤，使之成为柔软的皮革造成的

Dawn suffered from anaemia, lack of vitamins and possibly scurvy

黎明遭受贫血症，缺乏维生素和可能有坏血病

She could have struggled to move because of hip and joint problems, which could have contributed to her death

她可能因为髋关节和关节的问题而挣扎，这可能导致她的死亡

Her bones indicated she was 15 when she died, but the teeth suggested she was 18. Other features like skin and eye colour were inferred based on general population traits in the area.

她的骨头表明她15岁时死亡，但牙齿表明她是18岁。其他特征如皮肤和眼睛颜色是根据该地区的一般人口特征推断的。

As for her apparently angry look, orthodontics professor Manolis Papagrikorakis told Reuters news agency: "It’s not possible for her not to be angry during such an era."

至于她显得生气的样子，口腔正畸学教授Manolis Papagrikorakis对路透社说：“在这样的时代，她不可能不生气。”

Her remains were found in Theopetra Cave, in the central Greek region of Thessaly, where objects from Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic periods have also been discovered.

她的遗体在希腊中部的Thessaly地区的Theopetra洞穴被发现，那里还有旧石器时代，中石器时代和新石器时代的物品。

The reconstruction work involved an international team and a Swedish laboratory specialising in human reconstructions.

该重建工作由一个国际团队和一个专门从事人体重建的瑞典实验室完成。

The face is on display at the Acropolis Museum in Athens.

这张脸由雅典卫城博物馆展出。
