The history has resurrected from northern Europe's bogs several men, women, and children who were deposited there as sacrifices in the early Iron Age and kept intact by the chemical properties of peat. Offering an account of their modern afterlives, this title argues that the discovery of bog bodies began an extraordinary cultural journey.
