Dentistry could hold the key to identifying the remains of an ancient English princess.
The remains of an ancient princess could possibly be identified through the use of dental techniques employed by scientists from Bristol University. 
Professor David Horton, of the university’s archaeology department, is working to discover whether the remains of a body found in Germany are the missing English princess Eadgyth – pronounced Edith.
The skeleton has been dated to the tenth century and work is now being carried out using dental enamel analysis to discover whether the remains are truly hers.
Elsewhere, researchers from Bristol University recently announced they had been able to uncover some insights into the habits of our ancestors by studying the dental remains of a child that was found in Portugal.
The remains of a child that lived 30,000 years ago were uncovered in 1998 in the Abrigo do Lagar Velho region and ever since scientists have been working on them trying to determine how humans have evolved over this period.
