In August 1984, workers from a commercial peat-cutting operation at Lindow Moss in Cheshire, England, made a startling discovery that captivated archaeologists and historians alike—Lindow Man, a perfectly preserved bog body dating back to the Iron Age. The peat-cutters were extracting turf when they stumbled upon the remains, initially mistaking it for a mannequin due to its seemingly intact features and well-preserved skin. Upon closer examination, they realized they had uncovered something extraordinary. The body, named Lindow Man after its place of discovery, displayed remarkable preservation thanks to the anaerobic conditions of the peat bog, which prevented decay and had retained soft tissues and facial features. The excavation attracted immediate attention from professional archaeologists, including Dr. Jonny O'Sullivan from Manchester University, who conducted further studies. They determined that Lindow Man was male, approximately 20 to 25 years old at the time of death, standing at about 5 feet 2 inches tall. Radiocarbon dating suggested a timeframe of around 2,000 years ago, placing the body firmly in the Iron Age. Analysis of the remains indicated that Lindow Man had met a violent end, with evidence of strangulation, a blow to the head, and possibly having been sacrificed as part of a ritual, suggesting complex cultural practices among ancient tribes in Britain.
