Bound And Drowned: What Really Happened To These Iron Age Corpses?

00:00 Iron Age Witch Burial
In this documentary, an Iron Age woman's remains are found tightly bound and pressed against the side of a pit, her facial bones crushed. A twisted lead piece is found around her neck — the only Iron Age burial to have been found with the lead still mostly intact around the remains. Was this woman punished for being a witch or sacrificed? Archaeologists use expert methods to try and uncover the truth behind her death.

24:26 Woman In The Bog
In 1835, peat diggers discovered the petrified body of an Iron Age woman at the bottom of a bog in Denmark, pinned under water by wooden stakes. Who was the woman in this marsh? Was she an important figure, or was she sacrificed? Multiple corpses around the city have been in water, peacefully preserved. Has this woman met a more damning fate?
