The investigation of the Lindow I1 bog body (Stead et al. 1986), made it necessary to consider aspects of previously discovered human remains of a similar kind. Two of us (DL and DB) found that further studies could profitably be undertaken on the specimens in the National Museum of Copenhagen. As a result of this, a number of detailed specialist reports relating to the Huldremose bog body are being prepared for press. An overriding concern in these studies was the development of techniques that would entail only minimal damage to the body. In this way, it should be possible to satisfy the requirements of museums and excavation units that such investigations would not detract from the value of ancient bodies as permanent records and potential exhibits
