Volume 4 of the series "The Man in the Ice contains the newest
results of the scientific research groups working on the Iceman
during the last years. By means of different methods
AMS-radiocarbon dating, bryology, dendrology, analysis of diatoms,
macroremains and pollen the reader gets information about several
aspects of the Iceman s lifestyle and environment as well as the
vegetation and climate of the Otztal region. Investigations of the
artefacts give insight into prehistoric craftsmenship. By several
different approaches the potential location of his settlement is
reconstructed. The good preservation of the pollen in his food
residue allowed even a reconstruction of the season when the Iceman
died. Willow leaves contained the information about the CO2 in the
air the Iceman breathed. Detailed pollenanalyses of mire deposits
in the alpine region of the Otztal gave insight into the genesis of
the alpine grass heath and early pastoral farming of a time long
before the Iceman lived. Radiocarbondating of organic matter from
the Iceman s finding spot detected a piece of wood from the Early
Neolithic that demonstrates the early interest of prehistoric
people in these highland zones. These are only some of the new
results in this book. A perspective of future research activities
is given.
