e/Gristhorpe Man

Information
has gloss	eng: The remains of Gristhorpe Man, were found buried in a tree trunk in Gristhorpe, North Yorkshire, England in the 19th century. They have been identified as a Bronze Age warrior chieftain. A few other examples of burial in a scooped-out oak tree have been found in Scotland and East Anglia, but it was an unusual method of inhumation and the remains found near Scarborough, are the best preserved. The remains were discovered in 1834 by William Beswick in an ancient burial mound near Gristhorpe and excavated under the auspices the Scarborough Philosophical Society. The Bronze Age remains were originally donated to the Rotunda Museum in Scarborough. They were taken to Bradford last year for a new evaluation while the museum was being refurbished. Recent findings The Bradford team deduced that the man was a high status individual, not unlike a tribal chieftain judging by his height of six feet.
