I'm saying that taking archeological primary sources on some skeleton
to an artist's impression of the person is more difficult than taking
several drawings to some composite artist's impression.
The latter is more like what we do everyday on Wikipedia: we take
multiple sources to generate a composite representation of the
information out there. We don't do OR interpreting original data
ourselves.

other's drawings).
So who is qualified to write an encyclopaedia? :)
