In late 2004, two Iron Age "bog bodies" were found in the prehistoric peat bogs of the Republic of Ireland - victims of an ancient ritual sacrifice - just 25 miles apart. As two of the three bog bodies ever found, the discovery of Old Croghan Man and Clonycavan Man was a turning point in archaeology and Irish history. Bog Bodies follows the 18 month investigation into the murder of these two men centuries ago, the discovery has stunned the world's archaeological community. Perfectly preserved but bearing signs of violent deaths, one body (6ft 6in) had been decapitated and had lost both his legs, while the other (5ft 2in) had been brutally attacked and was missing his entire lower body. Bog Bodies takes us along on this fascinating historical and archaeological journey, and into the kind of society our ancestors lived in two thousand years ago. Dewey: 936 BOG.
