    The role of the women were far more strenuous then the men and the children in this age. They had to go to work almost every day in the mines and the lucky ones worked for the rich families sowing, taking care of the children and also cooking. With doing all of these activities they still had to come home to their own families to do the same work they had been doing all day long. Even though the children had it rough I believe the women had it the worse. Not only did they have to tend with their daily duties and jobs they also had to work up to the due date of their child and the day after which I have found to become an amazing show of strength. With all of the family gone to work it was left up to the old members of the family to watch the children while the parents were at work all day. Most families had up to 10 children, being that having more children meant having a higher income whether it was present or in the future.…

    Almost all the bodies discovered show evidence of violence and murder, giving us clues about methods of punishment, sacrifice and festivals. For example, Elling women was hung by a leather thong which left a V-shaped furrow that is clearly visible in her neck. The leather belt that was used to hang her still survives. It has a sliding knot, making it suitable for execution purposes. This happened in the pre-Roman Iron Age, between 350 and 100 B.C. In 1879 the body of an adult woman was found in a bog near Ramten, Jutland in Denmark. The body, known as Huldremose Woman, was very well preserved. The woman met her violent end sometime between 160 B.C. and 340 A.D. Her arms and legs showed signs of repeated hacking, and the diggers who found her body noted that her right arm was detached from the rest of her body. That arm was evidently cut off before she was deposited in the peat. Yde Girl died a violent death sometime between 170 B.C. and A.D 230. The woolen band around her throat shows that she died from strangulation. A wound near her left clavicle was probably inflicted with a knife. Tollund Man was discovered in Bjeldskovdal in 1950. He lived…
