Abstract:		 The authors made efforts to date a substantial number of bodies from northwest European peat bogs by means of 14C, comparing materials such as skin, hair, bone, textile, leather and wood where available. Most of the bodies investigated were found to date from the Late Iron Age/Roman period (c. second century BC--fourth century AD). The authors argue that data set shows that bog bodies in general can be successfully dated by means of 14C analysis, in contradiction of claims that `peat bogs can age corpses so as to distort completely the usefulness of radiocarbon'.
