Clony Cavan's Hair
The National Museum of Ireland used samples of Clony Cavan's hair to determine that he ate a lot of fresh vegetables. And because they were recently ingested by him, they were able to say he was murdered in the late summer or early fall. They also found another body with defensive wounds on his upper arms where he had apparently tried to stop whatever was stabbing him, but he was stabbed in the arms instead.
