Remains of cloth from one of the most famous Danish bog bodies, the Huldremose Woman (55 AD), believed to stem form a hitherto unknown garment, were investigated by a combined approach using microscopy (optical and SEM) X-ray microbeam diffraction, X-ray microbeam fluorescence and micro Raman. For identification purposes samples were compared to modern fibers. We present our preliminary results in this poster
