Description

Lindow Man is a compact book that brings together glorious colour photography and in-depth analysis of Britain's best-preserved bog body. Discovered in 1984, Lindow Man dates back to the late Iron Age and offers a unique glimpse into the lives of our ancient ancestors. The book explores the discovery, conservation, and reconstruction of Lindow Man's face, as well as the evidence for his diet, medical history, and brutal death. This fascinating study is set against the backdrop of Iron Age society, providing a nuanced understanding of this enigmatic individual and his place in history. With its striking images and engaging narrative, Lindow Man is an essential read for anyone interested in archaeology, history, or the natural world.
