According to reports, archaeologists are to confirm if the remains found under a parking lot in Leicester are that of King Richard III.

The findings of the research are expected to be made public later. Experts believe that an historic breakthrough would be made if the researchers confirm that the remains are of the King. The researchers at the University of Leicester have released the images of the skull that was discovered during the three week digging exercise in what is believed to be the choir of Greyfriars Church.

Historians believe that the church, which has been lost in the books of history, is a burial ground for the king who died at the battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. The remains were discovered on the first day of the excavations. The officials are yet to announce results of the study.

The researchers have produced a three dimensional image of the body and have also included a facial reconstruction. Dr Jo Appleby, from the University's School of Archaeology and Ancient History was the leader of the exhumation of the remains in September 2012.

Dr Appleby said, "The skull was in good condition, although fragile, and was able to give us detailed information about this individual. It has been CT scanned at high resolution in order to allow us to investigate interesting features in as much details as possible. In order to determine whether this individual is Richard III we have built up a biological profile of its characteristics. We have also closely examined the skeleton for signs of a violent death."
