Abstract: This paper is studying peat and soil from the former lake Bokaren in stavby parish. The peat comes from a darkening around a skeleton that was dug out in 2015. The purpose is to investigate whether the previously measured level of arsenic found in previous analyzes can say something about the individual/skeleton found in Bokaren. Is it possible to determine whether the individual has been exposed to arsenic during his life or is naturally present on the spot. The purpose is also to include this in a discussion about poison and poisonings in a prehistoric context, as a possible cause of death for bog bodies?
