source of energy. However, these peat blocks are perhaps slightly less interesting than the other commodity the peat bogs have to offer; incredibly well preserved mummies or bog bodies. The peat bogs provide the perfect combination of sphagnum moss and a lack of oxygen allow for the preservations of bodies from as far back as 8000 BCE. Some are only skeletons, but many of the more famous bog bodies are incredibly well preserved. Many bodies found are from the Iron Age and provide valuable information on

Tollund Man is a 2400-year-old naturally mummified body that was discovered in 1950 in a danish bog. Tollund Man was most likely a low- class slave from the Iron Age, who was killed as a result of being hung by a rope noose, because he believed in another god than his community, which suggested he was rebelling against his own community. According to Source A, the Danish police report, Tollund Man wore an iron neck ring, which was typically what slaves wore during the Iron Age. Furthermore, Tollund

Bod Pod Analysis The Bod Pod is a system in which the body’s density is calculated. This density is then transferred to see how much of a person’s overall weight is fat and how much is muscle. My experience in testing was both interesting and insightful. Beginning, I met with Mrs. Megan Windham, the registered dietician at Beutel Health services. I was then told to change into clothing with minimal additional weight and stepped into the Pod system. The Pod changed the air pressure around me and

Bog Mummies By:Patrick R. Over time, bogs reveal extremely well-preserved, fascinating artifacts, called bog mummies. Bog mummies are like a time machine. They give people insight about how life was like dating as far back as The Bronze Age! Bogs are unique compared to most other wetlands. To begin, bogs have acidic waters, which prevents bacteria from breaking down the organic matter (“Wetlands Types and Classification”). Furthermore, sphagnum moss dominates most growth in the bog, and it is

The Grauballe Man “Grauballe Man,” is a bog body that has been preserved for more than two thousand years. It is one of Seamus Heaney’s North collection poems. The Grauballe Man is considered to be one of the most well-preserved body of all time, it was discovered in the peat bogs in Jutland, Denmark. The body showed no signs of violence indicating that the man was murdered rather than dying of natural causes. The poem indicates Heaney’s preoccupation with the body because it evokes him of the

classical poetry. Recently, his poems are considered as postmodern. To answer that how much his poems are traditional, modern or postmodern is the aim of this project. Key Words: postmodernism, myth, imagery, technique, poetry, deadly, violence, corpse, bog, imagination, freedom. Introduction This research is a case study including discussions and analysis of two poems by Seamus Heaney, one of the postmodern poets. The

The Lindow Man (officially Lindow III) is the top half of a male body, found preserved in a peat bog in Cheshire, England. He was spotted on the 1st of August, 1984, by a peat cutter in Cheshire. With his job to keep the belt of his machine cleared he threw away what he thought was a piece of wood. In actual fact this was the leg of the Lindow Man. "I was taken out on to the moss and shown where the previous day 's peat had been taken from. Walking the uncut sections, I found a flap of dark, tanned

Manav Patel By the Bog Of Cats Critique The story “By the Bog of Cats” was about a woman named Hester losing two very important people in her life; her mother, and the man she loved. The people of the bog think she is crazy and idiotic after the death of her mother and after she killed her brother. The man she loved is getting married and wants to take full custody of their daughter. Hester is dealing with the emotions of this man leaving her and taking her daughter

The peat bogs of northern Europe have become home to people who have been dead for centuries. These bogs are formed due to limited plant varieties that are largely dominated by sphagnum moss. Within this moss is a polysaccharide called sphagnan, whose antibiotic properties are important in the preservation of the bodies. Most often bog bodies range from 900 BC to 1800 AD. Whether it was an accidental fall, the dumping scene of a murder, or a ritualistic sacrifice, the chemical makeup of these bogs

death. The Tollund Man was found on the 6th of May 1950 by two brothers at Silkeborg, Denmark, in a peat bog. He was positioned on his side in a cradle position, naked with a leather belt around his waist, a pointed sheepskin cap with a leather strap that was positioned firmly under his chin and a noose around his neck. The substances in the peat bog prevented the body from decomposing. The bog contains Sphagnum moss which creates acids in the water and grows a glass covering over the water blocking
