The section on clothing is included here. However, this does not mean that any forms of clothing have been found in the bog!
The section is divided into: Finds, Tools, Clothing and Generally interesting from Prehistoric times.

Gustav Adolf Theodor Rosenberg (08.06.1872-04.12.1940)
As a conservator, G. Rosenberg was employed at the National Museum from 1895 - 1940.
He preserved both inorganic and organic materials. He was responsible for several large conservation projects, including the Hjortspring find, for which he was also the excavation manager. He could therefore already at the time of the excavation take all considerations into account for the subsequent conservation.
In 1917 he published a method for preserving iron and bronze and he worked intensively with galvanic and electrolytic methods for preserving metal. Rosenberg also developed and improved methods of preserving textiles.
Rosenberg carefully described his methods in his notebooks, much to the delight of his successors.
He was also the leader of the excavation of the Ladby ship, 1935 - 1937.

Archaeologist from the National Museum defends doctoral dissertation, which uncovers approx. 3,000-year-old myths and concepts.
The myth of the sun's journey across the sky was the background for Bronze Age image makers. The horse, the snake and the ship let the sun travel through the day from night to day. It provided inspiration for the pictorial world that is now interpreted in Flemming Kaul's work "The Religion of the Bronze Age", which is accepted as a defense for the philosophical doctorate.

Egtvedpigens Dans is located in the exciting crossroads between science and art - between experimental archeology and communication, and it provides new perspectives for communicating and expanding our knowledge of the rich Nordic Bronze Age culture.

Preface
Tacitus's "Germania," originally written in the year 98, is a little book which, ever since the beginning of the 16th century, has been read with varying degrees of attention and varying benefit depending on who studied it. The Italian humanists had their point of view on the scripture and the learned Germans a slightly different one, which in retrospect seems nationalistic.
...
The book is 152 pages long, of which Tacitus' writing is 25 pages long! The rest are comments and notes.
Publius (eller Gaius) Cornelius Tacitus (ca. 56-120 e.Kr)
Tacitus was born into a provincial family of the chivalry in northern Italy or southern Gaul. As a young man, he studied rhetoric to prepare for a career in law and politics.
When he was in his 20s, he married Julia Agricola, daughter of Gnaeus Julius Agricola. His father-in-law's exploits as governor of the province of Britannia were carefully covered in his works, and it is clear that there was a good relationship between the two.
He began his political career in 81 as a quaestor. He then continued through the cursus honorum and became known as a skilled orator and lawyer. It was noted that his name did not fit very well ("tacitus" means "quiet")1
