description: "The Bocksten Man is the name given to the remains of a man of the medieval era, which were 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 Halland Museum of Cultural History. The man had been killed and impaled to the bottom of a lake which later became a bog. The bog where the body was found lies in Rolfstorp in Halland County, about 24 kilometres (15 mi) east of Varberg on the west coast of Sweden, close to the most important medieval road in the area: the Via Regia. In 2006 a reconstruction of the man was made, showing what he may have looked like in life, which was subsequently displayed in the museum alongside the original skeleton."
