New from me: researchers used various methods to unravel the life story of a Neolithic man buried in a Danish bog. 🧪🏺

Skull of Neolithic 'bog body' from Denmark was smashed by 8 heavy blows in violent murder

A new look at an 5,000-year-old bog body from Denmark suggests that the individual may have been an itinerant flint trader who was sacrificed by hostile locals.

I'll have to read this later to see how they differentiated between murder and other possibilities like ritual sacrifice or similar.
