This repository stores the code for a scrollytelling contribution created with Quarto for the first Closeread Prize announced by Posit.
It presents findings of a multidisciplinary research project conducted between 2016 and 2019 as a collaboration between Masaryk University, the Brno City Museum, and the Capuchin Province in the Czech Republic. The project aimed at the anthropological examination of a nearly 300-year-old mummy of baron Trenck located in Brno, the Czech Republic. The findings were a basis for a full reconstruction of baron's body.
All presented information comes from available literature, and I was not involved in the project. I am only fascinated by the possibilities of 21st-century science and this research project in particular.
