adult
Age: 35 - 59 years

Between 2011 and 2013, a large-scale excavation was carried out near the St. Plechelmus Basilica in Oldenzaal. This is a 2D reconstruction. One of the many skeletons excavated at the time belonged to this man.

Isotope research showed that he grew up in Oldenzaal, but that his distant ancestors probably came from North Africa. However, the DNA experts said that that had little or no further influence on this man's appearance.
