The 'bog bodies' of north-western Europe have captured the imaginations of poets and archaeologists alike, allowing us to come face-to-face with individuals from the past. Their exceptional preservation permits us to examine minute details of their lives and deaths, making us reflect poignantly on our own mortality. But, as this book argues, the bodies must be resituated within a turbulent world of endemic violence and change. Reinterpreting the latest continental research and new discoveries, and featuring a ground-breaking 'cold case' forensic study of Worsley Man, Manchester Museum's 'bog head', it brings the bogs to life through both natural history and folklore, revealing them as places that were rich and fertile yet dangerous. The book also argues that these remains do not just pose practical conservation problems but also philosophical dilemmas, compounded by the critical debate on if - and how - they should be displayed. 606 $aArchaeology$zEurope 606 $aBog bodies$vExhibitions$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aBog bodies$zEurope, Northern 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Archaeology$2bisacsh 610 $aHistory, Ancient 610 $aArchaeology 610 $aHistory 610 $aSocial Science 615 0$aArchaeology 615 0$aBog bodies$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aBog bodies 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Archaeology. 676 $a930.1 700 $aGiles$b Melanie, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$00 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996552363103316 996 $aBog bodies$93085895 997 $aUNISA
