Abstract

After Sikora et al. (2017) have shown that the children buried in a paired grave at Sungir were boys, the authors have decided to revise T. S. Surnina’s reconstruction of Sungir 3. The article presents a new 3D computer reconstructions of Sungir 3 in the guise of a boy. In order to determine which soft covering thickness standards were used by T. S. Surnina when she was restoring the appearance of Sungir 3, the measurements of the head taken in the course of the 3D reconstruction (without hair and paraphernalia) are compared with the dimensions of the skull. The obtained information is important for the analysis of the dynamics of methodological techniques used in domestic anthropological reconstructions. The osteological study of the Sungir children shows a relatively high massiveness of the skeleton of the youngest child.
