On my next trip #home to #Ireland my mam has us pencilled in to visit the #NationalMuseum to find out some more information on #BogBodies

Do any #MastoDaoine have any info on if there is a database of such finds in Ireland - especially non ancient ones (one was found in my mam's village about 70 years ago, I believe from the ~1600s).

What about remains from the 1800s, especially the famine: have they been mummified yet and if so, what happens to these bodies if found?

You had me at "Bog Bodies"

A new look at more than 1,000 "bog bodies" — human remains preserved in low-oxygen places with wet and spongy soils — reveals that the tradition of leaving bodies in European mires spans millennia, from the Stone Age to modern times, and that these individuals often met violent ends.

I used to argue against Heathen narratives that "queers get the bog" on historical grounds, but at this point, why bother? Might as well reclaim it.

That's right: We are those bog bodies reincarnate. We are here to corrupt your traditions and haunt your waking life. Fucking fight us.

Super interesting… but did anyone really think prehistoric life *wasnt* brutal? https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/11/europe/bog-bodies-study-scn/index.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=news_tab&mibextid=Zxz2cZ #bogbodies

RT @Roy_van_Beek
Our new overview paper on European #bogbodies is published in @AntiquityJ today! It is based on a large-scale inventory of finds of human remains from #bogs. In this thread I share some main findings. Note that I show some images of human remains. 1/

The trouble with archaeologists is they’re just suckers for a well-preserved cadaver.

A new study of less eye-catching human remains has revealed how many of our European ancestors met violent ends in peat bogs.

Me in this morning’s @thetimes

A bog burial was no accident if you met a violent end

I wrote a song about Ned Kelly's Irish bog bodies. :D I haven't sent it to him (via academia.edu where I asked him for one of his papers in 2016) because I'm shy. But it's definitely for him! I put the lyrics in the description.

I love #bogbodies! I met a couple in Denmark and am fascinated by the stories they tell!

intro tag dump! will be edited in future to add more.

my non-sca account is @smokes and there's politics, nonsense, and TMBG there mostly.

As more people trickle in, I figure this is as good a time as any for an #introduction post.

I'm M. Shaw, #IndieHorror darling, author of (most recently) 'One Hand to Hold, One Hand to Carve' from Tenebrous Press, as well as a bunch of other weird fiction, poetry, and the odd bit of CNF. My work has been characterized as "David Cronenberg by way of Samuel Beckett," which I think sums things up pretty decently. I don't necessarily post about all of that stuff here, but I have a website and email newsletter that are in my profile.
