The Luttra Woman is a bog body that was found near Luttra, Sweden, on 20 May 1943. The body has been dated to the Early Neolithic period, of about 3800-3600 BC.[2] In Swedish, the body is called Hallonflickan(pronunciation (help·info)), in Danish, she is called Hindbærpigen. Both names are translated as Raspberry Girl. This name comes from the fact that when she was found, her stomach showed that raspberries had likely been her last meal. At the time of her death, she was a teenager, or a young adult. There are no traces of injuries or fataldiseases on her body. She was likely tied up before her death, and drowned on purpose.[3] Axel Bagge, an archeolgoist who assisted in the first investigation, said that she had either been a human sacrifice, or she had been executed.[4][5]
Since 1994, her body has been on permanent display at a museum in Falköping.[1]
As of 2017[update], she was the earliest-known Neolithic person from Western Sweden.[6]
