Although the bone was not as well preserved as that of Lindow Man, the other tissues survived in better condition.
Before Lindow Man was found, it was estimated that 41 bog bodies had been found in England and Wales and 15 in Scotland.
Although the peat encasing Lindow Man has been radiocarbon dated to about 300 BC, Lindow Man himself has a different date.
As the peat was cleaned off the body in the laboratory, it became clear that Lindow Man had suffered a violent death.
Dating the body has proven problematic, but it is thought that Lindow Man was deposited into Lindow Moss, face down, some time between 2 BC and 119 AD, in either the Iron Age or Romano-British period.
Encouraged by the discovery of Lindow Man, a gazetteer was compiled, which revealed a far higher number of bog bodies: over 85 in England and Wales and over 36 in Scotland.
