  Using facial reconstruction technology, researchers crafted a digital model that offered a glimpse of the man - known by researchers as "Skeleton 125," or "SK125" - showing what he may have looked like in life, Aberdeen City Council representatives said in a statement.
  
  SK125's remains, along with 59 other complete skeletons and more than 4,000 human bone fragments, were found during excavation work to expand the Aberdeen Art Gallery in 2015. The building was constructed in 1885 on the site of a friary and a church, both built in the 13th century and destroyed in 1560, council representatives said.
  
  "SK125 was chosen for reconstruction as he was one of the skeletons in an individual grave with a well-preserved skull. His level of preservation meant that we were confident that he would be able to tell us lots about his life," Milburn told Live Science in an email.
