"That gruesome discovery on 1 August 1984 led to Rick Turner, the newly-appointed county archaeologist, being called to the site on Lindow Moss. He says what followed were "the most exciting days of my archaeological career". "I was taken out on to the moss and shown where the previous day's peat had been taken from," he says. "Walking the uncut sections, I found a flap of dark, tanned skin projecting from below. "Reporting my discovery to the police, we agreed I would be given a day to excavate the remains."
On 6 August, the site was recorded and sampled, the limits of the remains were established and "Lindow Man was lifted - within his block of surrounding peat - on his way to international celebrity", Mr Turner says."

This article, last updated 2nd august 2014 explains the discovery of Lindow man. The usefulness of this article is demonstrated through the evidence provided in the detailed explanation of the excavation of the bog body. Therefore it provides us with a clear interpretation of how the Lindow man was found and excavated. This article states that there were two museums, Manchester and British involved in search for Lindow man’s history. This also states some of the reasons why Lindow man’s body preserved over this of a long period of time, which was due to acidic and anaerobic conditions of the bog, thus making it possible for the scientist to reconstruct his face. Therefore this article proves its usefulness because it provides us with the information stated by the scientists and archaeologists. This article also offers us with an insight of a primary source, Mr Turner an archaeologist who was present during the time of the excavation, thus reinforcing the reliability of source. This source is reliable to use since it comes from a news channel website, BBC news, delivers us with information said by archaeologists and scientist who have conducted research on the Lindow man.

This is a photograph taken in 1984; this is the area where the body of Lindow man was discovered called a peat bog, this thick soggy soil preserved the body from rotting because of the lack of oxygen surrounding the bog. This image is useful as it gives the researchers key information about the investigation of the Lindow man’s body, what measures and precautions were taken by the archaeologist and scientist. And perhaps what equipment used by the people involved in the excavation process. This image demonstrates people to be studying & examining the bog to see what else could be found. The reliableness of this source can be trusted as this found on a reliable website, “http://www.britishmuseum.org”, created by the trustees of the British museum. The reliability of this image can be dependent on the evidence that this was taken during 1980’s, the time of the excavation of the Lindow man’s body.
