Bogs can preserve things indefinitely in some cases. They’re wetlands that are acidic, often anerobic/have no oxygen in the water, and are saturated with tannins from decaying plant matter. In the right conditions they can preserve some kinds of organic materials for millenia. The bog bodies of northern Europe and Ireland are the most famous examples, but all sorts of things are found in bogs.
