When a German couple noticed a man's head and shoulder sticking out of a glacier i

n the Austrian Alps recently, they made history.The frozen corpse was about five feet 11 and scientists who helicoptered to the site determined that it was 4,000 years old-the first 12 body ever found from the Bronze Age.Mummified by the wind and snow, he came 13 with skin, bones, internal organs, and fingernails.He was 14 in leather shoes and finely stitched leather suit, insulated with hay.An array of weapons and equipment was found alongside him 15 a leather quiver with fourteen arrows, a stone necklace, a fire flint, a knife, and a ax with a crude bronze head.

“The find is of 16 scientific meaning,” said Konrad Spindler, professor of Early and Primeval History at the University of Innsbruck, who is investigating the 17 .Skeletal remains of buried corpses have been excavated before in Bronze Age graves.But “the iceman,” as Austrian newspapers dubbed him, was going about the normal course of life when he died 18 the ages of 20 and 40, which means he should yield a treasure-trove of information about conditions 4,000 years ago.Scientists plan to 19 the contents of his stomach and intestine for clues to the Bronze Age diet, illnesses, and parasites.They also hoped to 20 the glacier site further for companions.
