Neu England Man
Oldenburg, Germany

 

 

     Background information about the mummy

Neu England Man was found in 1941 in the Lengener Moor near Ammerland. Scientific study has revealed that he was between 40 and 50 years old when he died. Carbon-14 dating also indicates that he lived during the Roman period. 

His state of preservation has deteriorated over the years. I have not been about to find any written sources that comment on the cause of his death, though his face seems to indicate that he was a victim of considerable violence.

 

     Where to see him

The Landesmuseum Natur und Mensch (Oldenburg, Germany) displays Neu England Man and two other bog bodies (Husbäke Man and Bockhornerfeld Man).
