Despite the seemingly spooky title of
this site, visitors should not be afraid of entering and exploring
around the contents of this very interactive site. Created through a
collaborative partnership between organizations such as the Canadian
Museum of Civilization and the Drents Museum, this site concerns
itself with the artifacts and material world created by the
so-called “bogpeople” of northwestern Europe who lived approximately
10,000 years ago. Visitors can explore their world through sections
that include “Science”, “Timeline”, “Profile” and “Mediatheatre”.
The “Mediatheatre” section is a good place to start as visitors can
view short film clips that cover the mysteries of the bog, fishing
with a harpoon, and the fabled Ubbena wheel. Moving along, the
“Timeline” area gives some nice chronological context to the events
and transformations covered by the site, and the “Science” area
includes some insights into what archaeologists do in the field.
