Haunted History: Bog Bodies of Iron Age Europe

“Bog bodies”: the eerily well-preserved remains of hundreds of people – men, women, and children – found in the swamps and peaty wetlands of northern Europe. This class, taught by Patty Hamrick who has an M.A. in Archaeological Anthropology from New York University, will discuss who the bog bodies were during life, how they died, and the science behind their amazing preservation.
