Professor tries to rebuild face on mystery skull
Roger LaJeunesse is involved in a uni¬
que project for the Fresno Sheriffs De¬
partment — he is reconstructing tbe    this he had to rely i
taccd of an unidentified homicide victim. ~
LaJeunesse, chaimydn of CSUF* Anth¬
ropology Dept., has been involved in this
sort of work for about seven years, but
this case is his first attempt atscuipting an
identifiable  face,  from only the  skull
There are only five other people in
North America who have done this sort of
thing before, according to LaJeunesse,
.it\d only three who do the actual face
sculpting.
He has been working on this particular
,ise since last fall, andhas just completed
and photographed the face for the inves-
facial reconstruction,  until Christmas Jeunesse explained. "You •«*, soft tissue   memory — they mi(rf* say, T»sy, 1 know

ompulsion — I worked on it until I real-
,-ed that anything more I might do
wouldn't be an improvement."
There is quite a bit of work and skill
involved in reconstructing a human skull,
I fijeunesse explained. First the skull had
to be cleaned. "I soaked it in Glbrox," he
said, "just so 1 could stand it (the smell)."
There- had been a great amount of
damage to the skull that he pieced to¬
gether. One side of it had been crushed,
i he nose broken; and then the top den-
i ures had been removed during the auto¬
psy, in an attempt to determine the age of
LaJeunesse then made an impression
of the skull using casting material so that
he could work with the copy. The original
was still evidence, and the sculpting clay
may have damaged it.
A latex mold was made of the face and
-nounted so that he could work with it.
Next, LaJeunesse filled in spots where
ihe bone had been damaged.
"I didn't begin the actual sculpting, the
"body weight and bone structure," as well        "So I doubt whether this," he pointed to
as figures from past research on human    the model face, "is really what he looked   quicker because I know how and I have

"From a physical anthropologist's point. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^™
of view," LaJeunesse said of his recent
experience, "you learn more about the
human face, tissues and muscles, than
you ever learned in anatomy class."
After determining skin depth based on
before mentioned factors, he measured
and cut erasers to glue down and then
work the hard clay to the same thick-

After the facial contouring of the model
was completed, LaJeunesse used a sof¬
ter, more pliable clay for detail work. For
example, he "rolled an orange across (the
clay) to give it skin texture"
Brown glass eyes were positioned on
the  model  because  brown  is -i'the
He also put a neck and ears on the
model, even though he wasn't very con¬
cerned about them because "it looked
funny without them,"
"Actually," LaJeunesse added, "ears
are very distinctive. If you ever get held
up, look at the guy's ears — they're a very
telling feature." ' (
