Abstract: |
A world survey of the phenomenon of bog-bodies and of remains of artefacts, clothing, boats, subsistence equipment, trackways, and the like. The history of wetland research is set out and the dwellers by sea and by inland waters described, together with finds relating to transport over the bogs or on the water, and ritual deposits of sacred objects, weapons, etc. The value of such material as a unique source of information on daily life in the Past is stressed. |
