The remains of the Lindow Man tell archaeologists a lot about the person when they were alive. The Lindow Man was very healthy for the time period he was in. His teeth were healthy with no cavities although they were stripped of enamel by the acid of he peat. Even though he was overall healthy, he had slight osteoarthritis and an infestation of parasitic worms. The Lindow Man's standard of living was also good and it is speculated that he was a high classed member of his society as he had well manicured fingernails, and his beard was also trimmed with scissors or shears. For his time, the Lindow Man is said to have been highly respected and used tools advanced for his time.
