Good question. Will ask my boss.
I’ve met this one, well pressed my face against his glass for a good hour or two. He’s from 300 BC or so. He still has his eyelashes.

Wow, what the heck this looks better preserved than most mummies i ever saw.
Was this a natural accidental pickle process or an intentional practice?
I want to be pickled after death now.

I was reading the wiki for Tollund man yesterday, and I believe they actually took a fingerprint from him.
That’s pretty identifiable, I think

Having thought a little more, the body would likely stay pickled in perpetuity as long as conditions are stable. I do not know what these thresholds are for bodies, though.

And in that bog there was a hole!
A rare hole, a rattlin’ hole
Hole in the bog and the bog down in the valley-o!

So… what I’m getting from this is that if you want to put zombies in a bog in your TTRPG campaign, they should be acidic pickle zombies.
