That was my first thought, too.

Then comes the really gruesome mental image of 600 year old preserved bodies being disinterred and dismembered; then those body parts stitched together "Frankenstein style".

Instead, it is a batch of old bones that were assembled into complete (more or less) skeletons; no mummies involved. Not even sure it even qualifies as "bog bodies", as the term is generally understood.
