One of the greatest discoveries in the study of man’s history was the uncovering of the frozen body of a man in 1991. He was soon called “The Iceman.” The body had been well preserved by ice in the glacier-covered Alps for about 5,300 years. The man lived in a period called the Copper Age. Among the possessions found with the hunter were a copper ax, flint arrowheads, a wooden bow, fourteen arrows in a leather quiver, and bark containers. He carried a pouch with mushrooms and a fungus. These were probably used for medicine. He wore a bearskin hat, a goatskin coat, leather shoes, and a belt. He also wore a grass cape that appears to have been warm and able to shed water during rain or snowstorms. Scientists studying the body have determined that he was probably in his late 40s and was about 5 feet, 2 inches tall. The man had broken several bones in his life. He suffered from arthritis and his lungs were black from smoke. He would have inhaled smoke from cooking fires all of his life. The hunter had recently been shot in the left shoulder by an arrow, which probably caused his death. He had tattoos on his back, knees, ankles, and wrist. They were made from rubbing charcoal into small cuts in the skin. These may have had some tribal importance. They might have been related to a religious practice or been personal body decorations.
