Bog body

1. Scope and Significance: After as much as 4,000 years the Bog Bodies of Ireland, Britain and Denmark provide a rare window into the people of the past. After nature has preserved their bodies so well over those thousands of years it should be of prime importance to preserve them at least as well into the future. After being unearthed most Bog Bodies were either left to dry out or put in some type of liquid preservative such as formaldehyde neither of which is optimum. The discovery of new Bog Bodies is becoming a rare which makes preservation even more of an imperative. The goal is to determine the optimum preservation process that is documented well enough so that new and existing Bog Bodies are treated right from the moment they are dug…

The peat bogs at Lindow Moss date back to the last ice age and were formed by holes of melting ice; they are now a tenth of their original size. Bogs often lead to the preservation of organic materials, particularly human remains, being acidic, cold, and devoid of oxygen. The brown colour of the skin, leathery texture, and appearance of human remains preserved in a bog are due to a type of moss that grows in bogs and when dead, lets out a substance that causes a tanning process. During 1980s CE…

The Kennewick man is a human skeleton discovered by two college students in July 1996. The students were trying to get a better view of a hydroplane race, so they went along the Columbia river to find a spot. While they were on the river, they noticed something in the water.

checks every window one last time, and finding no lights or sounds outside, she lifts the pot up. It seems agonizingly heavy to her weak arms, and she hastily sets it down on the floor and lifts the lid. There is nothing but a large, grimy-looking chunk of meat in plain boiling water. They’ve eaten everything else there is, even the shriveled, unripe mini tomatoes on her decorative plant. It died more than two months ago, and the small, dried fruits tasted like sand when she tried to eat them. A…
