    Tips

    The circumstances of the find, the circumstances of the deposition of the man from Osterby and the objects found show numerous parallels to other bog corpse finds. Like other Iron Age finds, the man from Osterby was beheaded and laid on the moor. The fractures on the skull caused by being hit with a blunt object indicate intentional multiple killing. Whether a death sentence was carried out on the man due to Germanic legal mores or whether he was sacrificed can no longer be clarified with certainty today.
