Bog bodies
This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. The ‘bog bodies’ of north-western Europe have captured the imaginations of poets and archaeologists alike, allowing us to come face-to-face with individuals from the past. Their exceptional preservation permits us to examine minute details of their lives and deaths, making us reflect poignantly on our own mortality. But, as this book argues, the bodies must be resituated within a turbulent world of endemic violence and change. Reinterpreting the latest continental research and new discoveries, and featuring a ground-breaking ‘cold case’ forensic study of Worsley Man, Manchester Museum’s ‘bog head’, it brings the bogs to life through both natural history and folklore, revealing them as places that were rich and fertile yet dangerous. The book also argues that these remains do not just pose practical conservation problems but also philosophical dilemmas, compounded by the critical debate on if – and how – they should be displayed.
The Archaeology of Yorkshire
Meetings such as the 'Yorkshire Archaeological Framework Forum Conference' held at Ripon in 1998 provide a good opportunity to reflect on the research carried out in a particular region in the past and present, and help in suggesting a direction for future agendas. This volume presents 23 papers including both period-based and thematic studies that reflect the major research projects being carried out in Yorkshire. Some authors identify trends and biases in fieldwork, excavation and research and suggest how these could or should be overcome in the future. The contributors include independent consultants and researchers as well as representatives from major institutions and university departments. Summaries in English, French and German.
