Who is Tollund Man?
   Wendy, Web Post

Dr. dig responds:
Tollund Man is a male Iron Age body found in a fen at Tollund, Denmark in 1950. The man wore only a leather cap, and he had a rope around his neck. Archaeologists have speculated that he may have been an executed criminal, or a sacrificial victim.
