One spring morning two men cutting peat in a Danish bog uncovered a well-preserved

body of a man with a noose around his neck. Thinking they had stumbled upon a murder

victim, they reported their discovery to the police, who were baffled until they

consulted the famous archaeologist P.V. Glob. Glob identified the body as that of

a two-thousand-year-old man, ritually murdered and thrown in the bog as a sacrifice

to the goddess of fertility.

Written in the guise of a scientific detective story,

this classic of archaeological history--a best-seller when it was published in England

but out of print for many years--is a thoroughly engrossing and still reliable account

of the religion, culture, and daily life of the European Iron Age.

Includes 76 black-and-white

photographs.
