CONT

Bog woman given a face. A 2000-year-old body ... has received a makeover - coroner style. The female known as the Auning Woman, found in a northeastern Jutland bog 1886, and housed at the Museum for Culture and History in Randers, has finally got a face. Reasonably well-preserved when she popped up from the bog, the woman’s 2000-year-old skull was broken into several pieces.

(À 80 m de là on a retrouvé une femme des tourbières vêtue de peaux).
