= Case Study - Ancient Human Remains =

- Bog Bodies - The Iceman - Lindow Man - Tolland Man - Ice Maiden

For this Case Study, we will be examining examples of human remains that have been preserved at different times, in different ways and for different reasons.
 * Bog Bodies (e.g., Tolland Man, Lindow Man, Grauballe Man, Windeby Girl, Clonycavan Man, Old Croghan Man)
 * Frozen Bodies (Ice Man, Ice Maiden)
 * Mummified Bodies (Tutankhamun, mummified Scythians, Inuit boy, Peruvian mummies)

For each type of body we will focus on:
 * When, where and how the body was found
 * Reasons the body was preserved
 * Methods used to study the body
 * Reconstructing the lifestyle of these individuals: physical appearance, clothing, evidence of the environment; possible cause of death; associated rituals
 * Written sources, if available, which assist in interpreting the remains
 * The evidence provided by the body about the society from which it came
