The Grauballe Man was found on the 26th of April 1952, near the village of Grauballe, Denmark. He was discovered by men cutting peat for fuel about three feet below the surface of the ground. When they were digging one of the workers, Tage Busk Sørensen, stuck his spade into something that he immediately knew was not peat; he noticed the red hair pupping up and  realised he had found the head of a human body.
