Description

One morning in April 1952, Danish workmen digging in a peat bog close to the city of Grauballe made an astonishing discovery: the body of a man preserved within the bog, his face Xattened by the burden of the peat and his skin as brown because the earth through which he lay. Who was once this man, and how had he come to be there?
With striking photographs and attractive text, James M. Deem tells the tale of Grauballe Man and other bog bodies found out in European peat bogs. He explains who they were, how they lived and died, and how their peat graves acted to preserve their bodies so well.
