  8. floating bog peat peat moss Non-core Caryophyllales K(5-8) C(5-8) A(4-20) G(3) superior • Droseraceae - Sundew Family • 3/110 widespread in N and S hemispheres • boggy habitats • a nutrient-poor, acid peatland • peat mosses, ericaceous shrubs, and sedges • as it matures peat accumulates • layer is formed by the semi-consolidated remains of plant material • peat exists in a water logged region where chemical and physical conditions prevent rapid degradation • peat is a precursor to coal and when dried and burned, peat can be a significant energy source

  9. Koelbjerg Woman, whose skull is shown here, is the oldest bog body known. We do not know how she met her end, as her bones show no sign of violence. She was, at most, 25 when she died around 8000 B.C. Her body ended up in open water, and the bones were not incorporated in peat until later. She may have simply drowned. (Fyns Stifsmuseum of Denmark, Odense) Bog Bodies • 1000 bog bodies have been found in regions associated with the Celts of the Iron Age • the earliest bog body, that of Koelbjerg Woman, has been radiometrically dated at about 10,000 years old; she may simply have drowned • The newest is of the 16th century AD, a woman in Ireland who may have been buried in unhallowed ground following a suicide • the majority of the bog bodies belong to the Celtic Iron Age, some as late as the 4th century AD • Preserved bodies of humans and animals have been discovered in bogs in Britain, Ireland, northern Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, both Jutland and Zealand, and southern Sweden • Records of such finds go back as far as the 18th century. It is not readily apparent at the time of discovery whether a body has been buried in a bog for years, decades, or centuries. However, during the 20th century, forensic and medical technologies were developed that allow researchers to more closely determine the age of the burial, through radiocarbon dating, their age at death and many other details. • Scientists have been able to study their skin, reconstruct their appearance and even determine what their last meal was by their stomach contents.
