 Lindow Man : Lindow Man is the preserved body of a man thought to be from between 2 BC and 119 AD, from either the Iron Age or Romano-British period.



 Lindow Man marked the first discovery in Britain of a well-preserved bog body. The body retains a trimmed beard, mustache, and sideburns of brown hair, as well as healthy teeth with no visible cavities, and manicured fingernails, indicating he did little heavy work. 

In life, Lindow Man would have been about 5’8″ (1.73 m) tall and weighed about 132 pounds (60 kg). His age at death was around the mid-20s.

There has been debate over the reason for Lindow Man’s death because the nature of his demise was violent and ritualistic. 

After the last meal of charred bread, Lindow Man was strangled, hit on the head, and his throat was cut. His recovered body has been preserved by freeze-drying and is on permanent display at the British Museum.
