Lindow Man
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindow_Man
Lindow Man, also known as Lindow II and (in jest) as Pete Marsh, is the preserved bog body of a man discovered in a peat bog at Lindow Moss near Wilmslow in Cheshire, North West England. The body was found on 1 August 1984 by commercial peat-cutters. Lindow Man is not the only bog body to have been found in the moss; Lindow Woman was discovered the year before, and other body parts have also been recovered. The find, described as "one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the 1980s",[1] caused a media sensation. It helped invigorate study of British bog bodies, which had previously been neglected in comparison to those found in the rest of Europe.
In the case of Lindow Man, scholars debate whether the killing was murder or done as part of ritual. Anne Ross, an expert on Iron Age religion, proposed that the death was an example of human sacrifice and that the "triple death" (throat cut, strangled, and hit on the head) was an offering to several different gods.

As Lindow man emerged from the peat under the painstaking care of the British Museum conservation tema, it was not long before the autopsy and X-rays of the body revealed an unmistakable sign that his life has ended violently. This brought him closer still to the sacrificial Danish bodies. The analysis started with comprehensive xero-radiography and X-ray scanning sessions which showed up the ghostly remnants of the boyd’s bone structure very clearly. ~ Pag 25
