So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence,

7、y acidic. The acid preserved the mans skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called, “Lindow Man“. (77) His hands and fingernails suggested that he ha

21、tities and sold at 65 cents per box of 200. People like these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went into different stores. Because there was such a demand for the product, manufacturers began making tissues in larger and larger quantities. Because the manufacturers were
