What was the iceman's job?
If you are referring to Ötzi the Iceman (the 7,000 year old mummified remains of a 45 year old man found between the peaks Fineilspitze and Similaun in the Ötztal Alps, near Hauslabjoch in 1991), from forensic data gathered from the remains, he may have been a coppersmith. By the tools found on his body, he may have been a hunter or gatherer as well.If you are referring to the job title iceman, this is someone who sold ice from a wagon or shop, and who often delivered it to homes for use in iceboxes (pre-mechanical refrigeration units).
What technology has been used to study the iceman mummy?
Ötzi the Iceman, Similaun Man, and Man from Hauslabjoch are modern names of a well-preserved natural mummy of a man who lived about 3300 years ago. He had an mri scan-this showed the arrow inside his body which killed him. He also had his mtdna extracted-he is type K, which is still fairly common in Europe today,often in Alpine regions.
What facts have archaeologists concluded about otzis life or death?
Otzi the Iceman was found in September 1991 in the Otztal Alps, hence Ötzi, near the Similaun Mountain and hauslabjoch on the border between Austria and Italy.Otzi the Iceman was Not Christian as he lived around 3300 B.C, MUCH before the start of Christianity (0 A.D.). Otzi the iceman and his people probably believed in tribal spirits.Otztal AlpsWhen Otzi died he was around the age of forty-five (3300 BC-3255 BC) meaning he had quite a long life for back when he was living .A close examination of the body found bruises and cuts to the hands, wrists and chest and rational disturbance indicative of a blow to the head. One of the cuts was to the base of his thumb that reached down to the bone but had no time to heal before his death. Currently it is believed that death was caused by a blow to the head, though researchers are unsure if this was due to a fall, or from being struck with a rock by another person.Ötzi carried an general and efficient kit which allowed him to remain away from home for long periods and to be independent. With his tools he would have been able to repair damaged items and fashion new ones. This shows that Otzi would probably have been going on and extended trip to somewhere or may have been a traveller. During his lifetime he was around 1.60 m tall - about the average height of the Neolithicpopulation. He was slim with little subcutaneous fatty tissue and probably weighed about 50 kg. The Iceman's body is covered with over 50 tattoos in the form of groups of lines and crosses.Interestingly, Otzis tattoos are located at points where his body was subjected to considerable strain during his lifetime and very probably caused him a lot of pain due to wear. The tattoos were therefore probably intended as healing measures rather than as symbols.
