Discovery+of+Lindow+Man

Discovery of Lindow Man Lindow Man like many other discoveries was found by pure chance. He was in Lindow Moss, a peat bog in Mobberly, Chesire on 1 August 1984. Workmen were extracting peat from the bog when one discovered what he originally thought to be large piece of wood, when the peat was removed it was discovered to be a human foot. Before man’s remains were carbon dated and his gender established it was thought that he was the remains of a woman who had been recently murdered in the area. The complete excavation of the body happened on the 6 August, however, not all of his body was recovered. So far we have only recovered Lindow man’s upper half and foot. Other bog bodies have been found in the area, or parts of bog bodies have been found in the area. Some of these parts are speculated to be part of Lindow Man. Now he is preserved at the British Museum, after his body was donated by the two peat farmer
