🔄FROM THE ARCHIVE: Peat bogs naturally preserve human remains. The artifacts give archaeologists a rich source of information to understand how ancient people lived.
Some of the most intriguing remains, however, have come from the European Iron Age, which began around 500 B.C. A number of bodies dated to this period appear to have died violently, perhaps as sacrifices, before being buried in the peat.
Other bog bodies displaying signs of violence may have been criminals, and their burials served as punishment. Still others displayed physical deformities that may have marked them for sacrifice, either as figures of veneration or condemnation.In addition to the manner of their death, some bog bodies also contain valuable information about their lives and the societies they came from.

Human cells help researchers understand squid camouflageSquids and octopuses are masters of camouflage, blending into their environment to evade predators or surprise prey. Some aspects of how these cephalopods become reversibly transparent are still 'unclear,' largely because researchers can't culture cephalopod skin cells in the lab. Today, however, researchers report that they have replicated the tunable transparency of some squid skin cells in mammalian cells, which can be cultured. The work could not only shed light on basic squid biology, but also lead to better ways to image many cell types.
