This is a list of bog bodies in order of the country in which they were discovered. Bog bodies, or bog people are the naturally preserved corpses of humans and some animals recovered from peat bogs. The bodies have been most commonly found in the Northern European countries of Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, United Kingdom and Ireland. Reports of bog bodies surfaced during the early 1700s. In 1965, the German scientist Alfred Dieck catalogued more than 1,850 bog bodies, but later scholarship revealed much of Dieck's work was erroneous. Hundreds of bog bodies have been recovered and studied, although it is believed that around 45 bog bodies remain intact today. ==How to use this list== * There may be more than one name in the "name" category which may also be used to show alternate spellings for names of the bog body. * The location category shows the city or state in which the bog body was discovered although some bog bodies are discovered on borders between countries. * The Carbon 14 dating is used to determine an age range based on examination of the half lives of carbon isotopes. * The "sex" category describes whether the find was male, female or undetermined. * The "description" category depicts examination details as well as its physical characteristics. Some sections may contain ''Little is published about this find''; meaning that there is little or no sufficient information published about the bog body. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of bog bodies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
