Researchers analyze last meal of Tollund Man bog body

TORONTO Researchers have analyzed and re-examined the gut contents of the “Tollund Man,” a bog body from the Early Iron Age in Denmark, in an effort to better understand life and death during that period. “Bog body” is the colloquial term for people whose remains are mummified by acidic peat bogs, leaving behind preserved skin, hair, nails and sometimes internal organs like intestines. Some bog bodies may have been individuals who fell in accidentally, while others may have been intentionally placed there through punishment, murder or ritual human sacrifice. During the Danish Early Iron Age 500 BC to 200 AD peat bogs were used for practical purposes but also for rituals where objects would be deposited in them.

Stonehenge might actually be a rebuilt Welsh stone circle, study says

TORONTO Archeologists in the U.K. may have unearthed new evidence on where the iconic stone circle of Stonehenge originated from. Working in the Preseli Hills of western Wales, archeologists found the remains of what is now considered Britain’s third-largest stone circle that they believe was dismantled and moved 280 kilometres to Salisbury Plain and rebuilt as Stonehenge. The study, published in the February edition of the Antiquity Journal, names the uncovered stone circle as “Waun Mawn,” and found that it has an identical diameter to the ditch surrounding Stonehenge, and a structure aligned on the midsummer solstice sunrise, also like Stonehenge.
