The Tollund Man is the unusually well-preserved body of an adult male who was about 30-40 years old when he died around 300 BC. He was found in a peat bog near Silkeborg, Denmark in 1950. Although blackened by the peat, much of his external skin and especially his face was preserved, along with his bones. The internal organs had desiccated but the stomach contents could be examined. The left side of his body showed more decomposition than the right side. He was 161 cm tall (5 ft 3 in) when he was discovered. Only his head was able to be kept from disintegration after removal from the bog, and it was subsequently attached to a replica of the body.
