With ESR spectroscopy as well as scanning electron microscopy scientists were able to determine Lindow Man’s stomach contents. They found a number of different foods in his stomach including mistletoe pollen and burnt griddlecake. Scientists also found his upper body skin contained high concentrations of copper with the aid of atomic absorption spectrometry. The copper was most likely body paint suggesting that Lindow Man could have been involved in some form of religious ritual. This gives us an idea of the society Lindow Man came from and a possible explanation of his death.
