Archaeological discovery of the skull of a man who died in the middle of the first century ad and discovered in a peat bog South-East of the village of Osterby. 26 may 1948 the brothers Otto and Max Muller were mined peat in a bog in the vicinity of Osterby and at a depth of about 70 cm found a human head separated from the body and shoulder wrapped in a cloak from the skins of deer.
Studies have shown that the skull belonged to a man who died at the age of 50-60 years. The most interesting finds is a perfectly preserved hair. Hair ancient man was laid over his right temple and tied the so-called "Swabian knot". Exact same hairstyle, according to the Roman historian Tacitus, wore the men of the tribe Suebi. Under the influence of the oxidation of his hair became a bright red color, but microscopic examination showed that at the time of death the man from Osterby was gray. The skin on his face is completely decayed, revealing bones of the skull. Roman bronze cauldrons depicted hairstyles Suevi. Julius Caesar writes about it: "This is the most warlike tribe of the Germans. They comb the hair to one side and tie it in a knot".
The tracks on the second vertebra scientists discovered that the head was severed from the body by some sharp instrument. On the left of the left skull trail (12 cm in diameter) broke a bone from a blunt object. Probably damage to the skull and led to death. The results of radiocarbon Dating showed that the man from Osterby was killed about the middle of the first century BC
Publius Cornelius Tacitus: "And now we should talk about the Suebi, who do not represent a homogeneous tribe, as the Hutts or tencteri, but, occupying the greater part of Germany, and even now are split up into many separate Nations, bearing their names, though all together they are called Suebi. A peculiar feature of this tribe is to pick the hair up and pull them node; the Suebi are different from the rest of the Germans, the Suebi and Freeborn from their slaves. Or because of relationships with solvable, either from imitation of them that has a fairly wide distribution, this hairstyle can be found in other tribes, but occasionally, and only with young people, while the Suebi up to the gray hairs don't stop to ensure that their upright standing hair was pulled back, and often tie them at the very top; while the chiefs they cleaned more carefully and more skilled. In this concern the Suebi on their appearance, but quite
they don't really doll up from the voluptuousness and desire to be liked, but trying to give himself this piece is more majestic and fearsome and strike terror in their enemies."
