Background

In 1991, a German couple chanced upon the frozen body of a middle-aged man while hiking in the Tyrolean Alps (see pp. 5455). Initially, Austrian authorities believed this to be the body of an unfortunate but modern hiker. However, a closer look at the gear associated with the remains confirmed the unbelievable: the Iceman, as he came to be called, was born around 3300 BCE and is the oldest fully preserved human body yet found.

While the exact circumstances of his death remain unclear, archaeologists do know that the Iceman was not intentionally buried. While intentional human burials do offer a wealth of information to archaeologists, the artifacts found associated with the Iceman are not from a ritual context. In other words, the Iceman and his equipment represent a snapshot of everyday activity in the Neolithic and a chance for archaeologists to study what life was really like over 5000 years ago.

Your Project

You work in an archaeology lab in northern Italy. The preserved body of a woman has just been located on a glacier in the Alps. Judging from the artifacts associated with her body, this Icewoman appears to be just as old as the Iceman and just as well preserved. The body was found lying in an extended position on a woven reed mat and a number of artifacts were found associated with her. Everyone is very excited and there is a lot of work to be done. You have been asked to help out.
