"Bog bodies" are ancient human remains that have been preserved in peat bogs, primarily found in northern Europe. These bodies often date back to the Iron Age and are notable for their remarkable preservation, which can include skin, hair, and internal organs. The unique conditions of the bog, such as low temperatures, high acidity, and lack of oxygen, prevent decomposition. Archaeologists study bog bodies to learn about ancient cultures, rituals, and lifestyles. Many of these remains show signs of violence or ritualistic practices, providing insights into the social and political dynamics of the time. Notable examples include the Tollund Man and the Lindow Man.
