Grauballe Man
Grauballe Man is a bog body that was found by a pair of peat diggers in 1952 in a peat bog near the village of Grauballe in Denmark. The following day, an archaeologist arranged for the body to be removed to his museum. In an attempt to preserve the body, a conservator decided to tan the body before stuffing it with oak bark. Following the procedure, Grauballe Man's body went on display at the Moesgaard Museum for nearly fifty years, before being removed to undergo more modern scientific study. The body was dated to the late 3rd century BC through analysis of a layer of peat that his body was found in. Grauballe Man was found naked and with his throat slit. Grauballe Man's hands were smooth, indicating that he did not do much manual labour during his life.
