Peat Bog - Harvesting Peat for Fuel

This 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.
