Peter Glob
- Known as PV Glob
- Danish archeologist who worked as the Director General of Museums and Antiquities of the state of Denmark and was also the Director of the National Museum in Copenhagen.
- Most known for investigating Denmark's bog bodies such as tollund man and Grauballe Man -- mummified remains od Iron and Bronze age people found preserved within peat bogs
- His main work focused in particular on prehistoric burial techniques and what could be learned from bodies preserved in peat bogs
- Tollund man:
On May 8, 1950, a group of peat farmers discovered what appeared to be a freshly murdered body in the peat bog near their home. When the police were called, they were unable to confirm a time of death and contacted Professor Glob. He ascertained the corpse was over 2,000 years old, citing a layer of Iron Age moss found beneath the body as evidence of when the victim was killed and placed in the bog.
Tollund Man as Sacrifice
It became clear, once scientists performed an autopsy on the body, that Tollund Man had been hung. His tongue was distended, a common physiological effect of this process, and creases were visible on the sides of his neck and under his chin. Further examination revealed that his last meal had included several types of seed that were not easily available, suggesting he had been killed as a sacrifice, and given a last meal which had symbolic significance.
- Grauballe Man
Two years later, Glob became involved in the study of Grauballe Man. Grauballe Man was discovered in the village of Grauballe in Jutland, and, like Tollund Man, appears to have been killed as a sacrifice. Unlike Tollund Man, Grauballe Man had his throat cut. His death was dated to the late 3rd Century B.C. by analyzing the layer of peat the body was found in. This was confirmed several years later by radiocarbon dating.
