Live from BPL! Digital Lectures: Haunted History: Bog Bodies of Iron-Age Europe

“Bog bodies”: the eerily well-preserved remains of hundreds of people – men, women, and children – found in the swamps and peaty wetlands of northern Europe. Many times police have been called to what appears to be a modern murder scene, only to discover that the body dates back to the Iron Age, over two thousand years ago. In this class, we’ll discuss who the bog bodies were during life, how they died, and the science behind their amazing preservation with archaeologist Patty Hamrick. You will receive a link to the program in the reminder email.
