Students uncover clues in mass grave Jon Stewart reports from Dorset, where Bournemouth University forensic science students have been using forensic archaeology to uncover the clues in a huge reconstruction of a mass grave, very similar to those found in former Yugoslavia, following the conflicts. Leonardo's Great Lady With the help of cardiac surgeon Francis Wells, artist Marilène Oliver has created a 3D interpretation of one of Leonardo Da Vinci’s anatomical drawings. The work has revealed that Leonardo's Great Lady is not quite all she seems.
