to the last meal of Tollund Man, a 2,300-year-old murder victim that was found enshrouded in sphagnum moss in a Danish bog.
Though Nielsen’s team was able to identify the grains and weeds in Tollund man’s stomach with great specificity, the results were mostly consistent with 1950’s studies that had previously inspected the stomach contents under a microscope. The most surprising outcome of the new research came in just before the paper went to print in Antiquity. A final protein analysis on a brand new mass spectrometer revealed that Tollund man was omnivorous.
Similarly, Maixner’s team solidified the theory of Otzi’s omnivorousness by analysing traces of DNA, protein and metabolites from his last meal. Their multi-pronged approach allowed the scientists to identify the meat as wild game, red deer and ibex, with a high degree of certainty. Reading through Nielsen and Maixner’s research, it’s hard to imagine that there is much more to know about Otzi or Tollund Man’s final feasts. The major components of each meal have been identified down to a species level. But, Maixner says there is more to uncover.
