Mexico City - Researchers in Mexico have reconstructed the body of an Ice Age woman, the daily Reforma newspaper reported on Friday.

The skeleton of the woman was discovered in 2002 in a cave near the Mayan ruins of Tulum on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula.

Researchers estimate she was in her mid-40s when she died and was 1.52 metres tall and weighed 58 kilograms.

The results of the research were revealed as part of the 200th anniversary of Mexican independence at an exhibit in the city of Guanajuato. - Sapa-dpa
