Abstract
This report completes the anthropological study of the human remains of the cave of Chan do Lindeiro (Ancares, Lugo). In the attempt is made to make a facial approach to the face of the individual studied a young woman. Although the preliminary study of facial approximation had already been carried out in the anthropological study by means of a portrait that had been incorporated into the work, in this new proposal we included the data to make a sculpture of the individual studied.
