Identification by circumstantial evidence

چکیده
The assumedly mortal remains of Queen Editha (Eadgyth) (91o–946 AD), wife of Otto the Great (912–973 AD) were subject of identification. The aim of the multi disciplinary investigations of an international research team was to test the hypothesis that the coffin indeed contained the skeletal remains of Queen Editha, as an inscription on its lid states. Biographical data of the historic Editha have been conveyed, but ante mortem information that goes beyond her civil status, similar to what is needed to identify a missing person in legal medicine, are missing. A firm identification, instead, requires the exact agreement of personal markers by checking ante mortem against post mortem features. The following biographic data are available: sex (female), age at death (36 years) and origin (Wessex, England).
