Antiquity 84: 681-692.https://hdl.handle.net/1808/7043Since his discovery in 1991 the iceman has been widely seen as meeting a dramatic end – mortally wounded by an arrow shot while attempting to flee through an Alpine pass. A careful study of all the located grave goods, here planned comprehensively for the first time, points strongly towards the scene as one of a ceremonial burial, subsequently dispersed by thawing and gravity. The whole assemblage thus takes on another aspect – not a casual tragedy but a mortuary statement of its day.Alpine regionCopper ageIcemanFormation processBurial riteArticlehttp://id.worldcat.org/fast/1028290 l l http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1028254 l l http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1028246 l l http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1028326http://id.worldcat.org/fast/878433http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1049058Mountain plants l l Mountain ecology l l Mountain animals l l Mountain watershedsCopper ageOtzi (Ice mummy)openAccess
