Elling Woman
Iron Age bog body found in Denmark / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Elling Woman is a bog body discovered in 1938 west of Silkeborg, Denmark. The Tollund Man was later discovered just c. 60 m (200 ft) away, twelve years after the Elling Woman's discovery.[1] The Elling Woman was mistakenly described as a man in P. V. Glob's book The Bog People, when it was published in 1965.[2]
