Reply to Who were Europe's 'bog bodies'? Deep look uncovers the secrets of this mysterious practice. by sloppy954
I’m really curious about whether other, non-human remains are also found in these bog sites. Are there other bones in there too? Surely a marsh bird must fall into the dark water occasionally. But it sounds as if these human burials are separate and pristine without other species present.
