ISBN:  9780500051825 (hc) Description:  223 p., 16 unnumbered p. of plates : ill. (some color) ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 205-217) and index. Summary:  "Some 2,000 years ago, certain unfortunate individuals were violently killed and buried not in graves but in bogs. What was a tragedy for the victims has proved an archaeologist’s dream, for the peculiar and acidic properties of the bog have preserved the bodies so that their skin, hair, soft tissue, and internal organs -- even their brains -- survive. Most of these ancient swamp victims have been discovered in regions with large areas of raised bog: Ireland, northwest England, Denmark, the Netherlands, and northern Germany. They were almost certainly murder victims and, as such, their bodies and their burial places can be treated as crime scenes. The cases are cold, but this book explores the extraordinary information they reveal about our prehistoric past."--Publisher. Other authors:  McDermid, Val.
