| Abstract: | The elemental content of samples of tissues derived from a 2,000-year old bog body, Lindow II, are described and the interchange of elements between the body and the surrounding or encompassing anaerobic peat medium is examined. A comparison is made of the chemical ‘fingerprint’ of Lindow II as compared with another bog body referred to as Lindow III. The application of body paint is noted. The bone has retained much of its structure and the Haversian Canal system is recognisable. The presence of a fungus mycelium on the skin samples is noted. |
