The Elling Woman is a bog body discovered in 1938 west of Silkeborg, Denmark. The Tollund Man was later discovered around 200 feet away, twelve years after the Elling Woman's discovery. She was discovered by Jens Zakariasson, who at first believed that her body was that of a drowned animal. She was hanged, like the Tollund Man. The year of her death is approximately 280 BC, also around the time of the Tollund Man. However, it is impossible to tell if she and the Tollund Man were killed at the same time.
