A very interesting archaeological study of ritual human sacrifice in prehistory. A lot of info on various bog bodies.There's something that becomes apparent as you read the book. A lot of the sacrifices, especially the younger ones, have some sort of deformity or injury, often relating to the spine. I honestly can't recall if I've read this somewhere else before or not. But what strikes me is that, had I lived way back then, I could have been one of those bog bodies. Scoliosis was one of the deformities mentioned (for a sixteen-year-old girl). And one would think this would creep me out, right? Nah. In fact, I was thinking, yeah, it'd be pretty nifty to have people studying my body millennia after my death.

Sacrifice, like death, is one of the great taboo subjects of modern society. The notion that human sacrifice, murder most horrid and even cannibalism could be considered a most holy act is almost inconceivable. Yet the evidence for human sacrifice in north-west Europe, deriving from both archaeology and the testimony of Classical writers of the first centuries BC/AD, has to be confronted. This is the challenge of this original, but often disturbing, book. Brings together a wealth of archaeological, anthropological and historical evidence that has not been previously available is a valuable asset to scholars.
