This book informs the reader about bog bodies and how crucial they are to scientists because they’re a journey to the past. Bog bodies are bodies that were deposited in a bog shortly after death, they were then naturally preserved in the bog. To clarify why they’re so important, bog bodies are usually so well preserved that their skin, intestines and other parts of their body remain. Scientists study them and they are able to find when they died, using radiocarbon analysis, and how they died which

Throughout Ireland's history, archeologists and Irish citizens have excavated well-preserved bodies from their peat bogs. These mummies, known as bog bodies, date as far back as the Iron Age and all appear to have been murdered violently for sacrificial offerings. On one hand, the bodies represent the violent character of human nature; however, they also provoke curiosity in their near perfect capturing of the human body. The distorted beauty of the bog bodies attracted and seized the interests

The Tollund Man The Tollund Man is one of Europe's best-known bog bodies. He was found, alongside The Grauballe Man in the early 1950s. Bog bodies recovered from the past are quite wide spread throughout Northern Europe, especially in Denmark, Germany and Ireland. The peat perfectly preserves the bodies due to anaerobic conditions, although the bodies are found blackened, their fingertips, hair and clothing are all still intact. Seamus Heaney uses the bog bodies in

Bog bodies are crucial to our understanding of the past. The bog bodies age from 8000 BC to the early medieval times. The most important and well-preserved bog bodies are from northern Europe, but bog bodies have also been found elsewhere in the world. Bog bodies allow for archaeologists and scientists, with help from modern technology and dating equipment, too successfully uncover and gain understanding of what past life was like. The alternative to bog bodies is skeletonized remains, which just

plant material, often moss. In the peat bog when a body is mummified they are often known as bog people. These bodies are crucial to our understanding of the past for what they reveal.

They have allowed humans to explore the past and our heritage and have helped them to acquire a further understanding

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

Historians and archaeologists investigated Tollund man extensively through the wonderful preservations of his body which gave them hard evidence to support their theories about Tollund Man’s 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
