EDUARD EGARTER VIGL Head of Conservation for the Iceman Translation One risk is that scientists who enter the room bring their bacteria and germs with them. Another risk is that we have no way of knowing if there are still living organisms in the mummy itself, and if these would be activated in the defrosting.

PATRICK HUNT One findthe man in the iceopened up a whole new window on the ancient world that was never there before. Kasam Se Episode 650. NARRATOR Five thousand years ago, on the European continent, is a time before countries, before kings, even before the introduction of the wheel. In these alpine valleys, some people are living in small settlements, just beginning to grow crops like wheat and barley, and to raise goat, sheep and cattle. But others are nomadic hunters, still depending on wild game for survival. Population is increasing, and so is competition between those hunters and early farmers. PATRICK HUNT We now know that with increasing population, there are more people contesting boundaries. This is the first time were actually farming. So people can now fight over a plot of land and over the resources on it. NARRATOR This is 1,0. PATRICK HUNT Everything was placed in that refrigerator, and the door was sealed. And we can open up that window in time, 5,3. NARRATOR In fact, when they found the Iceman, he was still wearing one of his shoes. The artifacts are now in the Bolzano museum, where Patrick Hunt is joined by Annaluisa Pedrotti, of nearby Trento University, to carefully examine each item, searching for clues, not only about tzis culture, but about his last day alive. Why would he have been carrying these things with him at the time of his death The shoe is one of the earliest examples of its kind and surprisingly complex. PATRICK HUNT You can just see here, at least three different kinds of material. You see grass, you see skin, and you see cord. NARRATOR Its unlikely a man from the Stone Age would wear shoes all the time, but if he knew he was going to cross the rocky slopes and glaciers of the Alps, shoes like this would be important to pack along. The artifacts not only provide personal details about the man who carried them, they prove that Stone Age designs could be surprisingly sophisticated. His backpack, with its wooden frame, seems almost modern. A leather pouch was possibly tied around his waist like a fanny pack. Chunks of tree fungus, thought to have medicinal powers, served as first aid kit. Maple leaves were used to carry hot embers for starting fires. PATRICK HUNT tzis culture knew the use of every possible plantANNALUISA PEDROTTI Trento University Yes. PATRICK HUNT and stone and wood. ANNALUISA PEDROTTI Yes, they use the optimal material. NARRATOR But venturing into the mountains beyond his settlement could be dangerous. Wolves, wild boar and bears were common. Clashes between settlements and hunters were also possible, so tzi carried weapons. Along with his knife, he had a bow and arrows. His quiver, the oldest ever found, contained carefully crafted wooden arrows, with flint arrowheads, chipped to a razors edge and glued on with pitch made from the sap of a birch tree. The feathers on the shafts are also carefully attachedto stabilize the arrow in flight. But for some mysterious reason, the bow and arrows were not ready to use. PATRICK HUNT If you count the number of arrows here, easily over a dozen, most of the arrows are completely un useable at this time. Why do we have so many arrows unfinished ANNALUISA PEDROTTI Translation This is a huge mystery. He was found with equipment that was not fully prepared. NARRATOR Its as if he were walking in the wilderness with an unloaded gun. PATRICK HUNT I would say that tzi is going to be in trouble.
