The Bog Bodies

One is just a torso and upper arms. The other is more complete. Both were found in ancient boundaries implying that they could have been sacrificed and has spurred one archaeo to start investigating other such ditches. The one with a head had a pine (I think) resin in his hair - hence the hair gel comment earlier.

Both show signs of 'torture' before death including cut nipples.

If I can dig out the other bits I read I'll add them.

Blimey! The facts are sensation enough without hamming any of it up!
