!!!Ötzi Mann vom Hauslabjoch, richtig Tisenjoch

"Oetzi" (man from Hauslabjoch): On Sept. 19, 1991, the body of a 
45-53-year-old man was discovered on Tisenjoch in the Oetztal Alps 
(South Tyrol, 3,200 m). The body had been conserved and mummified 
in the ice of the glacier. The man's fur clothes (which have been 
reconstructed), his tools made of wood, stone and bones, the fur 
quiver with arrows, the bow and the copper handaxe with a wooden shaft 
are typical of a herdsman or a farmer of the New Stone Age. By means 
of the radiocarbon method, it has been possible to determine that Oe. 
lived around 3000 B.C. Research on the site where he was found as 
well as on the body, clothing and tools was carried out by a team of 
international scientists headed by representatives of the University 
of Innsbruck between 1991-1998. Since 1998 the body and other restored 
finds have been on display at the Archaeological Museum in Bolzano, 
Italy.
