Or maybe it was just a coincidence. But in 1983 and then again in 1984, he found human remains in an English peat bog known as Lindow Moss. The first time, he had found the head (mostly a skull with little skin or brain remaining) of a woman.]]> 2018-02-25 22:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/paige_kerby/s66xwsmly6ru/wish/235159116 paris_mcginty https://padlet.com/paige_kerby/s66xwsmly6ru/wish/235159890 A bog is a wetland that accumulates peat, a deposit of dead plant material—often mosses, and in a majority of cases, sphagnum moss. It is one of the four main types of wetlands. Other names for bogs include mire, quagmire, and muskeg; alkaline mires are called fens. They are frequently covered in ericaceous shrubs rooted in the sphagnum moss and peat. The gradual accumulation of decayed plant material in a bog functions as a carbon sink.]]> 2018-02-25 22:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/paige_kerby/s66xwsmly6ru/wish/235159890 paris_mcginty https://padlet.com/paige_kerby/s66xwsmly6ru/wish/235164713 2018-02-25 23:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/paige_kerby/s66xwsmly6ru/wish/235164713 hoppinghannah6 https://padlet.com/paige_kerby/s66xwsmly6ru/wish/235748657 significant for study is that the hair, skin, and several of his integral organs were preserved. The body and surrounding section of peat were removed whole and taken away for study by a team led by British Museum scientists. Once safe in a laboratory it was the focus of analysis and has caused a great deal of excitement, producing an unprecedented investigation.]]> 2018-02-27 07:29:40 UTC https://padlet.com/paige_kerby/s66xwsmly6ru/wish/235748657 hoppinghannah6 https://padlet.com/paige_kerby/s66xwsmly6ru/wish/235786911 2018-02-27 10:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/paige_kerby/s66xwsmly6ru/wish/235786911 hoppinghannah6 https://padlet.com/paige_kerby/s66xwsmly6ru/wish/235789086 The Lindow Man was the center of a controversy in 2008 and 2009 when it was put on display in Manchester England.  The controversy was centered around different interpretations of the Lindow Man’s death, and a panel of eight was put together to talk about the different theories and their personal beliefs on the cause of death.  Though the display in 08-09 was not the first time that Lindow Man had been on display, the last 25 years had seen changes in the way that the world view the bodies of the dead.  The Manchester Museum, where the new display was held, was trying to peak public interest and debate about the treatment of the dead and was loaned the Lindow Man for a year.  And though there were some who were confused or disturbed by this, a large portion of the public believed that the Museum had done an admirable job (Sitch 2009).  Another controversy that surrounded the display of the Lindow Man in Manchester centered around an offering box that was placed with the body.  And though there were many who did leave offerings for the dead man, the fact that a box was placed there was criticized because of conflicting religious beliefs for the Lindow Man and those who were visiting him (Sitch 2009).]]> 2018-02-27 10:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/paige_kerby/s66xwsmly6ru/wish/235789086
