Bog Bodies of the Iron Age

Amcotts Moor Woman
A.D. 200-400
Found in Lincolnshire, England in 1747
Unearthed long before the modern era of scientific inquiry into and preservation of bog bodies, the only remnant of Amcotts Moor Woman is now her left shoe. The design of the leather shoe dates her to the late Roman Period in Europe. Her right shoe and hand were sent to the Royal Society in London soon after she was discovered, but like many bog-body finds before the 19th century, they have disappeared without a trace.
