Talk:Lindow man

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Too much conjecture here. Lindow man could just as likely been executed for committing some crime, instead of being a sacrifice. I've read the official book on Lindow man, and they drew no solid conclusions on why he was killed. (Anonymous)

Not commenting on the above statement, more on the article itself. The opening sentence states that Lindow Man was discovered in 1893. I thought it was 1984.

1983, more in 84 and further bits in 1988, according to the linked article. I've cleaned up the "re-dating" and enthusiastic assertions that have crept into the article. Another other external links? --Wetman 00:39, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ronald Hutton's analysis

Just in case it ever comes up here, Hutton's analysis in the Times Literary Supplement (claiming that the Lindow man is no longer evidence for ritual human sacrifice) has been countered by Dr. JD Hill, the curator for the British Museum's British and European Iron Age dept. Hutton's original article; Dr. Hill's refutation. Fuzzypeg☻ 23:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
