The face of a nobleman (possibly warrior/priest) who lived in Pylos, Greece, near the location of King Nestor's palace and around the same time period, has been reconstructed by scientists from the University of Cincinnati and presented during an event hosted by the American School of Classical Studies in Athens.
The remains of the man were found in an undisturbed tomb, which contained an unusual number of valuable items such as rings, paintings, other jewellery, combs, mirrors etc, leading archaeologists to believe that he was a high profile individual.
The colour of his features has been chosen based on a painting found next to him in his grave, which will be presented to the public later in the year.

The article is in Greek, I will check the UoC website in case they have something
