The Koelbjerg Man, formerly known as Koelbjerg Woman, is the oldest known bog body and also the oldest set of human bones found in Denmark, dated to the time of the Maglemosian culture around 8000 BC. His remains are on display at the Møntergården Museum in Odense, Denmark.
In May 1941, a human skull and some bones were discovered. On 21 May, the find was reported to the Fyns Stiftsmuseum. The museum staff were able to reconstruct the original position of the bones only because the blocks of peat containing the bones could be matched to the holes where they were removed from the bog. The skull and two bones were found at a depth of 2.5 metres , but the majority of the bones were found in a depth of 3 to 3.5 metres , at a distance of 7 to 8 metres from the other bones. A thigh bone was found a further 2 metres to the southeast.
