Bones of 200 slaughtered soldiers from the time of Christ are so well preserved in peat bog that their DNA can be studied | Mail Online: "Danish archaeologists have re-opened a mass grave of scores of slaughtered Iron Age warriors to find new clues about their fate and the bloody practices of Germanic tribes on the edge of the Roman Empire.

Bones of around 200 soldiers have already been found preserved in a peat bog near the village of Alken on Denmark's Jutland peninsula.



Experts started digging again on Monday, saying they expected to find more bodies dating back 2,000 years to around the time of Christ."
