Skrydstrup Woman

As of 2017 carbon-14 dating showed that she had died between 1382 and 1129 BCE;[1] examination also revealed that she was around 18–19 years old at the time of death, and that she had been buried in the summertime.

The carbon 14 dating to around 1300 BCE is contemporaneous with a house plot on the Bronze Age farm in Skrydstrup 700 meters (2,300 ft) northeast of the mound, which may have been her residence.

A large square cloth of wool, gathered at the top with a belt, covered her from the waist to the feet.

The string was wrapped several times around the head so that it sat like a headband and held the hairstyle and hairnet securely in place.

[4] However, later studies has shown that the mulch taken for determining her origin had been contaminated with modern samples and it is now agreed widely that she was born and spent her life in the Skrydstrup area.
