Peat Bog - Harvesting Peat for FuelThis image depicts a man cutting peat from a bog to use as fuel. For centuries, this job was done by hand - thereby allowing harvesters to find bodies which often had turned into mummies. Today, workers in the bogs use mechanical equiment, thereby diminishing the chances of finding more bodies/mummies.
