    3. SNIPPET: You may be able to catch some February 2006 showings on television of the NOVA program entitled "Perfect Corpses." If not, I believe there is a DVD of same, if the subject interests you.. Central Ireland's waterlogged landscape halts decomposition, perfectly preserving stunning evidence of brutal ritualistic killings from the prehistoric Iron Age, over 2,000 years ago. NOVA is granted exclusive access to the investigation of two recently unearthed and exceedingly rare bog bodies. Viewers enter the lab with the experts as they push archaeological forensics to its limits, aiming to unravel how these people lived and how and why they died.
