Synopsis
Bog Bodies presents the results of the research carried out into this extraordinary phenomenon since the publication of the monograph Lindow Man in 1986. Over the last few years some key questions have been answered and new avenues of research opened up. Twenty-seven contributors from four countries bring a wide range of scientific and historical expertise to this survey. Apart from the finds from Lindow Moss, numerous bog bodies have been rediscovered or re-examined in Ireland and the Netherlands, all of which have now been systematically studied using modern scientific techniques.
Bog bodies recorded in Britain and Ireland and a review of recent work into bog bodies found on the continent, highlighting a research project in the Netherlands, are surveyed as a whole. The reasons behind the deposition of bodies in bogs, their social context, and their place in the mythological as well as historical record of northern Europe are discussed in detail.

Paperback. Condition: Fine. Bodies found in Lindow Moss are analyzed in this book and set in the context of other finds in Britain, Ireland and on the Continent. The discovery of Lindow Man - as he became known - in a Cheshire peat bog in 1984 was arguably the most significant archaelogical find of the decade. Ten years on in 1994, several other ancient bodies have been recovered from Lindow Moss and other sites, enabling a large number of researchers to compare results and draw important conclusions about the life, death and the environment at the period of death of each individual. The dating of the bodies is also discussed. The diet, appearance and medical condition of each body has been analyzed as has the cause of death. Reasons for the deposition of such bodies are discussed in detail and placed in a social and religious context. Lindow Man is now on permanent display at the British Museum. The contributors to this book are: K. Barber, E.H. Beaumont, J. Bourke, N.P. Branch, C.S. Briggs, D. Brothwell, P.C. Buckland, M. Delaney, M.H. Dineen, A.N. Garland, R.E.M. Hedges, T.C. Holden, R.H. Housley, D. Lacy, J.R. Magilton, R. O'Floinn, R.L. Otlet, T.J. Painter, F.B. Pyatt, W.A.B. van der Sanden, R.G. Scaife, P. Skidmore, D.M. Storey, R.C. Turner, A.J.Walker.
