The bodies have been most commonly found in the [[Northern Europe]]an countries of [[Denmark]], [[Germany]], the [[Netherlands]], [[Great Britain]], and [[Ireland]]. In 1965, the German scientist [[Alfred Dieck]] catalogued more than 1,850 bog bodies, but later scholarship revealed that much of Dieck's work was erroneous, and the exact number of discovered bodies is unknown.<ref>
