The
Bocksten Man (also spelled as Boxsten) is the remains of a
medieval man's body found in a
bog in
Varberg Municipality,
Sweden. It is one of the best-preserved finds in Europe from that era and is exhibited at the
Varberg County Museum. The man had been killed and knocked to the bottom of a lake which later became a bog. The bog where the body was found lies about east of Varberg on the west coast of Sweden, close to the most important medieval road in the area: the
Via Regia. He was recently reconstructed to show what he may have looked like when he was alive.
