I think that his copper ax was the most important because it showed ranking and leadership.

# data[].attributes.body
When the ice-man was found they saw things around

him. I thought that the axe was the most important

artifact near him. Its important because he used the

axe to kill large animals, trees, and he could use it for

prataction if he felt that he was in danger. Also, the

axe seemed very important to him because he never

traded it and something it could of helped him servive.

# data[].attributes.body
His most important artifact was his copper axe he wouldn't trade anything for it but he traded everything else and it helped him defend himself and to hunt it also must gave the scientist some information on his life.

# data[].attributes.body
The copper axe shows the greatest clues about his life. The copper axe shows that he might have been a hunter or warrior in his tribe.

The copper axe shows that he is a hunter because evidence shows that he never traded his copper axe for anything.This also shows his social ranking.Only people with high social status owned a copper axe

Also it shows that he was a warrior in his tribe because he could have used his copper axe to defend himself from enemies.To defend himself with the copper axe he would either cut off their hands,fingers,or even their head. They are some reasons why I think the copper axe was the most important artifact found near him

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the copper axe gave us the most clues about the iceman's life. It told us what time period he lived in. It also told us that he was wealthy or of high rank. Since he was born in the copper age, copper was rare. The only way he would have a copper axe was if he was a warrior or leader. That is why I think the copper axe provided the most evidence of what the Neolithic iceman's life style was like.

The Iceman 

           The
clothing and tools that were found near or on the Neolithic mummy Otzi provide
great clues about his life! 

        The
clothing found on was a shoe. The shoe looked like it was made out of sticks
and leaves! The shoe was very old and it was frozen, hard as a rock. There were
also deer skin pants next to him.  They
looked like he must have killed the animal and skinned it! And there was also a
hat. The hat was made out of black bear skin it looks like! The hat was kind of
like the pants I think he killed the animal and then skinned it and made it
into a hat!

           The
tools that were found next to him were a cooper axe and a dagger. The cooper
axe was old and rusty! It looks like it had been pasted down from generation to
generations. The dagger had some kind of rope on it or leather around it to
keep it in a pocket. The dagger was made out of a sharp rock or some kind of
cooper and it had a rounded wood piece at the bottom. The dagger and the axe
show that he must have been a leader or a warrior because he would just be
carrying those things around with him. They must have been weapons so that he
could kill the animals.

 

                                    The iceman is still a mystery to be resolved!

The artifact that i found provided me with the greatest clues about Otzis life, was the copper axe and his tattoos because if you were someone in his era of time you were either religious, in war, or had something to explaintheir status, such as his copper axe and also his tattos. Otzi had three tattoos. A couple on his knee, back and ankle. Usually if you lived in the copper age (such as Otzi) copper was very rare if you were not wealthy or if you weren't a shepard or a hunter. So that concludes that when he died he could have been as wealthy as a shepard or a hunter.

# data[].attributes.body
most important artifact clothing it was made of skin this means he was a hunter

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the axe gave the most informatin about the iceman. It gave the most information because it shows that he was either highly intelligent, a leader, or a great trader. Also it shows that he was most likely a warrior because it would have been a great weapon in short range battle Or even long range because he could have also thrown it.

# data[].attributes.body
the axe because it showed social  status and he liked it the most so it showed value to him which should mean an impact

The copper axe found near Otzi was an important artifact to clues about his lifestyle.

Otzi maybe have used the axe in the copper age to hunt animals for clothing and food. Or maybe to protect himself from animals. The axe was so well preserved you can tell Otzi worked hard to receive the piece of history. people are still amazed by this amazing discovery today.

The Iceman

Otzi a.ka ''The Iceman'', could have been a shepherd herding sheep, a trader trading stone and metal for tools, or even a medicine man in search of messages from gods. Clearly, all of these accusations can't accurately be proven true or false, about The Iceman. Though, With this in mind one statement that is true about Otzi was his most important artifact...His ax

Otzi lived in a time called Copper Age, which was exactly what his ax was made out of, copper. Thanks to his ax, Otzi was able to make a new bow to replace the one he had traded away or broken. Otzi was able to create and build a new bow. Believe it or not, the bow was so gigantic that it was taller than Otzi himself. Finally, I say this with great sadness Otzi had been frozen to death. In the meantime, found right next to Otzi was his gorgeous copper ax. Coincidence? I think not. That shows that even on his deathbed Otzi cared deeply for his ax.

In my own opinion, Otzi was a very wise man who's life was cut too short. Clearly, his beautiful copper ax was his most important artifact. In conclusion, judging by the evidence in the passage, the copper ax Otzi used was his most important artifact.

R.I.P The Iceman

# data[].attributes.body
I think the copper axe is the most important clue to Otzi's life because it can be used for hunting and as a weapon. Also it gives clues to his ranking

# data[].attributes.body
The copper ax's found near Otzi , the Neolithic mummies copse
supposedly provides the greatest amount of detail about his life.
His ax’s blade was made of copper, signaling that he lived during the copper age.Also his ax
was about 60 cm long and its blade was about 9.5 cm across. He had given away many of his
valuable items to obtain the valuable copper for the ax’s blade.With that being said, he would not part
without it. It was very advanced and Otzi would of found many uses for it. It was his most
precious tool, and I think it is the most detailed artifact found near his death scene

# data[].attributes.body
I found the Iceman's axe to be the most

important clue to his life.It shows he was a worrier/leader

# data[].attributes.body
otzis aftifact that told about his life was his valuable copper axe. he traded many of his belongings for that copper axe so it must have been very important to him. he wouldnt give anything up for his copper axe so he must have had it to hunt and defend himself from animals and people with it. also he started wielding a bow and arrow to do many things with it. otzi used his axe to cut down trees for many things, almost all of his belongings if not all of them were made from the copper axe. this was made form hard flint that scientists were impressed to see. the copper axe was the most important find of otzis belongings. it gave clues that life back then that life was harsh back then.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the copper axe was the most

important artifact found with Otzi because

it did not only showed us what time period

he was from, but where he was from, his

social class, and maybe his rank.

The axe would have showed us where he

from because copper was only found in certain

areas. The copper would have shown his social

class because the copper on the blade of his axe

was rare back when he was alive. It could have

showed his rank because he could have been in

that high social class that allowed him to get such

copper.

Otzi also did not want to trade his axe for

anything. He traded lots of his things for the axe and

it meant a lot to him and was very special, or was it

because the axe had so much value that he did not

to trade it??????????????

In Conclusion the copper axe was the artifact that

gave the most clues to his life because it told us where

he is from, his rank, his social class, and so much more.

The clothing found on Otzi, the iceman, in my opinion, was the greatest artifact

discovered.  I think that the clothing was an important artifact because it told a lot about

his life.  The pieces of clothing that were found on and near Otzi were his bearskin cap,

his tights, his jacket, and his shoes.  The bearskin cap told me that he could have been

a hunter.  It also told me that he hunted large animals, since the hat was made of

bearskin.  His tights told me that he could have been surviving in cold climates.

His jacket, along with his tights, were made from the hide of domestic goat.  They

were cross stitched, which could have meant that he was a the top of his social class.

Otzi’s shoes were made of deer skin, and bear skin, along with grass netting for

insulation.  Overall, I think that the clothing was the most important artifact found

along with Otzi.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this article because it provides a lot of information about how Otzi could have died. It has been shown from a CAT scan that there are dark spots at the back of the mummy's brain, showing how Otzi could have suffered a blow to the head that knocked his brain against the back of his skull during an attack.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Ötzi the Iceman, Europe's oldest mummy, likely suffered a head injury before he died roughly 5,300 years ago, according to a new protein analysis of his brain tissue.

Ever since a pair of hikers stumbled upon his astonishingly well-preserved frozen body in the Alps in 1991, Ötzi has become one of the most-studied ancient human specimens. His face, last meal, clothing and genome have been reconstructed - all contributing to a picture of Ötzi as a 45-year-old, hide-wearing, tattooed agriculturalist who was a native of Central Europe and suffered from heart disease, joint pain, tooth decay and probably Lyme disease before he died.

None of those conditions, however, directly led to his demise. A wound reveals Ötzi was hit in the shoulder with a deadly artery-piercing arrow, and an undigested meal in the Iceman's stomach suggests he was ambushed, researchers say. [ Mummy Melodrama: Top 9 Secrets About Otzi the Iceman]

A few years ago, a CAT scan showed dark spots at the back of the mummy's cerebrum, indicating Ötzi also suffered a blow to the head that knocked his brain against the back of his skull during the fatal attack.

In the new study, scientists who looked at pinhead-sized samples of brain tissue from the corpse found traces of clotted blood cells, suggesting Ötzi indeed suffered bruising in his brain shortly before his death.

But there's still a piece of the Neolithic murder mystery that remains unsolved: It's unclear whether Ötzi's brain injury was caused by being bashed over the head or by falling after being struck with the arrow, the researchers say.

The study was focused on proteins found in two brain samples from Ötzi, recovered with the help of a computer-controlled endoscope. Of the 502 different proteins identified, 10 were related to blood and coagulation, the researchers said. They also found evidence of an accumulation of proteins related to stress response and wound healing.

A separate 2012 study detailed in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface looked at the mummy's red blood cells (the oldest ever identified) from a tissue sample taken from Ötzi's wound. That research showed traces of a clotting protein called fibrin, which appears in human blood immediately after a person sustains a wound but disappears quickly. The fact that it was still in Ötzi's blood when he died suggests he didn't survive long after the injury.

Proteins are less susceptible to environmental contamination than DNA, and, in the case of mummies, they can reveal what kinds of cells the body was producing at the time of death. A protein analysis of a 15-year-old Incan girl, who was sacrificed 500 years ago, recently revealed that she had a bacterial lung infection at the time of her death.

"Proteins are the decisive players in tissues and cells, and they conduct most of the processes which take place in cells," Andreas Tholey, a scientist at Germany's Kiel University and a researcher on the new Ötzi study, said in a statement.

"Identification of the proteins is therefore key to understanding the functional potential of a particular tissue," Tholey added. "DNA is always constant, regardless of from where it originates in the body, whereas proteins provide precise information about what is happening in specific regions within the body."

In addition to the proteins related to clotting, Tholey and colleagues also identified dozens of proteins known to be abundant in brain tissue in the samples from Ötzi. A microscopic analysis even revealed well-preserved neural cell structures, the researchers said.

"Investigating mummified tissue can be very frustrating," study author and microbiologist Frank Maixner, of the European Academy of Bolzano/Bozen (EURAC), said in a statement. "The samples are often damaged or contaminated and do not necessarily yield results, even after several attempts and using a variety of investigative methods. When you think that we have succeeded in identifying actual tissue changes in a human who lived over 5,000 years ago, you can begin to understand how pleased we are as scientists that we persisted with our research after many unsuccessful attempts."

Their research was detailed in the journal Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences.

The artifact on or near the Iceman that provides the

greatest clues about his life in my opinion is his copper

axe. These are the reasons why his copper axe shows

he's a leader and warrior. A sign of him being  a leader

is his axe is made of copper which back then was probably

valuable and hard to get. Also it shows he's a warrior being

that he could get food for his people by hunting animals

with it. One more reason is he could protect himself when

hunting or someone is trying to kill him. That is why his

copper axe gives the most evidence about the Iceman and

his life.

# data[].attributes.body
Otzi the Iceman is one of the
greatest scientific discoveries of our time, and baffles many of the smartest
people in the world. Artifacts that were on and surrounding his body gave us
clues to who he was and how he lived.

I believe that the most important
artifact found was the copper axe that was near his body. I think this gave the
most clues and was the most helpful because it told us not only about who he was, but how he lived as well.  Many
things about the axe show us the history of Otzi the Iceman.

For example, the axe helped them conclude what period of time Otzi was from. They determined
that he was part of the Neolithic age, which was the later part of the Stone Age, where they started to make polished weapons. It also determined that he was
from the copper age, where copper was very popular and was valuable. Not only
did it tell about when he came from, but it told us about who he was. Copper
was a statement of high value and social ranking, so, Otzi would have had to
have been really powerful, or worked hard. So, that concludes that he was
either a warrior/leader, or even a tradesman who traded many of his things to
get the axe.

The copper axe is helping us uncover the
mystery of the Iceman, and shows us a bright light into our past. Though his
life is still a total mystery, we can conclude that he was a hardworking man
who was determined to get where he was going to go. We may never know the
complete truth, but we can still guess on who this man was and how he lived.

# data[].attributes.body
Otzi the Neolithic iceman had many goods lying around his death scene. The one that gave the most clues about his life was: the copper ax. The copper ax was most informative for many reasons. The ax gives clues of his occupation. He could’ve been a trader. He must’ve traded other goods to obtain the copper ax. There is not another logical way he could’ve received it.

Also he could’ve used it for protection. As he was traveling his trade routes if he came across something he would be able to protect himself from animals and other humans.  Also he could use it for other practical uses while traveling get to the next trading site. He could use it for cutting wood for a fire, making more weapons, cutting down trees, and making shelters. The ax was a very important tool in Otzi’s daily life; it had many uses that helped him survive. That’s why the copper ax was most informative because it gave many clues about his life and many other daily jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the copper axe was the article which provided the most clues about Otzi's lifestyle. One reason is, since the axe was made out of copper, we can maybe assume that he was a warrior/leader because only a warrior leader would own an axe made or copper. Also it represented social status. As well as the fact that it was made of copper, we wouldn't trade it for ANYTHING. Out of all the things he had, it seems as if the copper axe was what Otzi depended on most. He would also use it for food and clothing. Otzi's copper axe seemed like his main source of survival.

the artifact near Otzi the neolithic mummy that provided The greatest clues about his life was his ax. His ax provided great information such as, what was he using it for? Many people argue on what it was for it could be farming, hunting, or even wood chopping. The ax was not just a symbol of rank. In the period around 3000 years BC, copper axes were a status symbol. Otzi might have been a tribal leader or warrior. I personally think that this ax was used for hunting. If Otzi was a warrior he would mostly get his food from hunting, and his 60 cm cooper bladed ax would be a perfect tool for the job. In the new stone age everybody farmed for there food so i presume there still is a small chance that Otzi could have used his ax for farming. He could have used his ax for wood chopping also. He could have used the wood he chopped for arrows to his bow. Those are a few reasons why Otzi's ax was his most important tool

# data[].attributes.body
An artifact that was near the Iceman that I thought concluded the most clues about his life is his copper axe. I think this provided the most clues about his life because in the article it stated that this was the only weapon he did not trade because he found that there were many reasons to use it. I agree with him and think there were many reasons to use the copper axe some were: make other tools or handy supplies, use it for self defense and fight with it, use it to cut food or meat up,and last for cutting wood.

In addition it would make sense that the Iceman could have been a leader or warrior because the copper axe would have been held by the leader of a group because leaders are the most reliable people in a group like this and the copper axe showed he was high-ranking.

# data[].attributes.body
The artifact that I found to provide the greatest clues about the Ice Mans life was

his copper axe. I believe his copper axe told most of his history. The axe showed that Otzi

the Neolithic mummy could have been a warrior or leader. I think this because in one of

the articles it said in Otzis time period it was rare to own a copper axe. This indicated that

Otzi could have been in a high Rank of wealth maby like a warrior, or he could have been

a hunter that was given the copper axe from one of his elders to become maby the next

hunter in his family. The axe also told us what time period he was from. As said in the

article the scientists studying the Ice Man said that Otzi must have been from the Copper

Age where people knew how to make copper, because of his copper axe the

archeologists said that people from that long ago didn’t posses copper until the copper

age. This tells us what time period he was from.

# data[].attributes.body
The many weapons that
Otzi the Neolithic Iceman possessed were the greatest piece of evidence that
influenced my decision on him being a leader/warrior in his society. They show
he was an armed warrior. And among these weapons was his beloved copper ax.
This was known in many societies to show leadership or a high rank. All of
these weapons show he wasn’t just a shepherd. If he was, he would have a couple
simple tools to defend his animals. A trader would just trade for animal skins
and food and wouldn’t need many weapons either. Besides, a warrior without
tools is like a chef with only a fork. Since he was a leader, he needed good
tools to defend himself. The copper ax also shows that he lived in the copper
portion of the Stone Age. These pieces of evidence show that Otzi’s man weapons
are the strongest piece of evidence to support he was a warrior/leader.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the axe gave the greatest clues to his life because it showed his occupation, and his way of getting resources. He could have used it for hunting, as one of the articles says that he could cut down a tree without sharpening the axe.

The copper axe found near the Neolithic

mummy was very important to him.

He never traded his copper axe which meant

To me the most important article found on or near the iceman was his copper ax. It told us about his status; it may have been a symbol of power. Also, it could have told us about his life; he could have used it to hunt/make fires if he was a warrior. Finally, it could have told us about his death; it may have been expensive, and someone wanted to get their hands on it.

# data[].attributes.body
The artifact found near him that provided the greatest clue about his life was the copper ax. I think this because he depended on his ax. It helped make fire, hunt, and even use it for self defense. The ax was copper so it showed the time period that he lived, the copper age. Most importantly it showed what otzi did for a job. I think a warrior/leader. They don't give a axe like that to anybody.

the artifact near otiz the iceman, like his axe that was really important to him for some reason , a dagger clothing, shoes and also a first aid kit. also he had  unfinished arrows. when otiz the iceman was found he had a hole in his headmy group thought it was from an arrow. lastly my group thought he was a warrior.

After analyzing the artifacts and articles written about the Neolithic iceman i think the copper ax gave the most information about his life.

One reason is it was made of copper and showed what time he lived in. The copper also provided clues on how hard he worked to obtain it. Lastly the copper ax gave clues that he could've been a warrior/leader.

Those are just some of the many clues that the copper ax found along Otzi the Neolithic mummy gave.

# data[].attributes.body
The artifact near the Iceman that I thought provided the greatest clues about his life was his copper ax.  The ax was made out of copper which tells us that he possibly lived during the Copper Age.  This type of well-made ax would have only been owned by a warrior or leader.  We think that the Iceman could have been a trader who traveled from village to village, but he never traded away his ax.  He probably needed the ax for protection and for hunting.  He also needed the ax to make new weapons like a bow and arrow.  The ax found with the Iceman was an important artifact that helped us learn a lot about the Iceman’s life.

# data[].attributes.body
The copper ax was the artifact that I

thought gave the most clues about

his life. The reason for this was because

he traded all his supplies except for

his copper ax. Also because his copper ax

was a sign that he could have been a

warrior/ leader and could have had it for

self defense. the last reason why I

thought that the copper ax gave

the most clues about his life was

because he could have used it for

hunting or herding sheep.

# data[].attributes.body
The axe found near the iceman gave the most information

about his life. The axe shows that he had a high position in

his society or that he was a leader. He also may have used

it for hunting, or to kill large animals. Plus,

the axe may have been used for making shelter on the iceman's

long and cold journey through the Alps.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the information I have read and analyzed about the Neolithic mummy, I have inferred that his copper axe provided the most important details on his life. The axe told scientists a lot about his journey and lifestyle. It also told around the time he lived. The copper axe was definitely critical to discovering almost everything they have today about how Ötzi survived, up until his tragic death on the rocky mountains.

The copper axe told scientists a lot of interesting and amazing things that nothing else could show. Mainly, it told when he lived. Because it was copper, we know he lived during the copper age. It was towards the beginning. This, archaeologists know because of how the rope was wound around the pieces of flint. Adding all this together, archaeologists know that Ötzi lived around five-thousand three hundred years ago. The copper also shows he came from a group of wealthy people or he traded to get the axe.

Some people believe that the axe was a symbol of power. Not many people had these types of things with them while climbing a mountain. The Neolithic mummy may have had this copper axe to show that he was not just a man, but a leader of a tribe as well. Back in that time, everyone would avoid the leader in hope not to get executed. A leader had almost all power. Ötzi may have been crossing back over the mountains from a long journey or mission, but gotten killed in the process. Thanks to this small, simple tool we can put together so many small details to make one larger conclusion about Ötzi’s journey and his planned destination.
Thank you!

He had a axe that he would not trade. It was a sign of status and that the was a worrier/leader. He also had tattoo's which also was a sign of status.

# data[].attributes.body
the copper axe that was found near the Ice-mans corpse provided

the greatest clues about his life. the copper axe was never traded.

in the time period the ice man was living, copper wasn't made as often as it is today.

many traders wanted the copper axe, but Otzi refused. some scientists claim that he

didn't trade it because it was passed down fro generation to generation.

he traded everything else, but the copper bladed axe. also, the axe fulfilled many purposes

Otzi has such as cutting trees to provide a shelter, and making other tools or weapons.

its value, what it is made up of and how he used it gives the evidence that the Ice-mans

most important object found next to his corpse.

I think that the Iceman's most important thing that was found next to his corps was his copper axe. This was because he was a warrior and was able to kill anything that was danger for him. He was a hunter and would hunt for his own food. This showed the iceman had liked long ago,(5,300) and he was part of the copper age. To emphasize, he was a warrior and his most important thing found on or next to his corps was his copper axe.

The clothing found on Otzi, the neolithic mummy gave the greatest clues about his life. The clothing that he wore was his hat, jacket and his shoes.

His hat was made of bearskin and delicately stitches so that it would not fall apart. This hat gave us clues about the climate he lived in, the time period he lived in and what he did for a living. The hat gave clues about the climate he lived in because, the bearskin on the hat was meant to keep him warm, which makes us conclude that he lived in a cold climate. The bearskin hat gave clues about the time period because of the stitching on it. In a certain time people became clear about stitching and mending clothes together. It gave us clues about what he did for a living because of the animal skin or fur. Since there was fur on the hat he probably killed the animal himself or he traded for it with other goods. This makes us conclude that he was a hunter or trader.

Next, his jacket. This was made from domestic goat hide and fur. This was also carefully cross-stitched together. This also gave us clues to the climate, time period and his job. The climate because of the animal fur and hide, which were meant to keep him warm. This could mean that he lived in a cold climate. This jacket gave clues to to the time period because once again from the skilled stitching. Otzi's jacket gave different clues to his job though, this gave clues that he was a shepherd or trader. It gave clues because of the domestic goat hide, domestic means trained or tamed.

Last, but certainly not least there was the neolithic mummy's shoes. The shoes were made with deerskin bearskin and for insulation there was grass netting. These gave us clues about the climate and what he did for a living. Twas told by the grass insulation to keep him warm, this could mean that he lived in a cold climate. The shoes gave clues about his job, was either hunting or trading because of the animal skin.

With all this evidence I can conclude that Otzi was a trader, lived in a cold climate and lived during the time when stitching was first invented. I can also conclude that his clothing gave the most clues about the neolithic mummy's life. Could you?

The copper axe is the artifact found that gave the
most clues about Otzi and his life.

The
axe is the one thing that he would never trade. This was his prized possession.
The axe is probably what he used for everything. He could have hunted animals
with it. By hunting animals he could get food or clothing. He could use the
animal skins to make warm clothing. His axe could have also been used for being
a warrior. He could have used his axe for anything. Another thing he used it
for was to fell trees. He used his axe for everything which is why I think it
gives the most clues about his life.

This
is the artifact that gives the most clues about his life because he used it for
everything he did.

I think that the copper axe was the object that provided the most information. It told us some things about Otzi's llife, that they wouldnt know if they never found the axe. This is why i think the axe is the most important object.

The object I found that had the greatest clues was the copper axe

Otzi the neolithic mummies most important belonging was

his copper axe. This was the most important artifact because

they were not common at the time that Otzi lived, this could

show that he was a leader in his community or tribe. Also he

could have used his axe to hunt and gather wood meaning

that he could be a hunter/gatherer in his community also

this could mean that he was a warrior. To support the idea

that Otzi was a hunter or warrior we can say that Otzi was

carrying many weapons when he died, these weapons include

his copper axe, a bow and arrows, and a flint knife. Also he had

tatoos on his ankle, knee, and back that could also signify leadership

There is also the mysterious circular stone object that the use is

unknown but it may be a type of jewelry that could possibly be

another signification of leadership of importance.

When Otzi the neolithic iceman died, he died on a mountain. Laying near him was a copper axe. One clue why he had the axe could be he used it to cut doen trees for wood. Another clue is he could've used it for hunting goats because his clothes were made out of goat skin.

Another is he probably used it for a weapon. If soomebody was trying to kill him he could use the copper axe to fight back so he doesn't die. Meanwhile he also could use his wood to make a shelter so he doesnt freeze to death. This is what I found interesting, that was found with Otzi the Neolithic Iceman.

I think the artifact that best describes the ice man's daily life is his copper ax. It is a powerful weapon and only people of high social status own them. Archeologists also found an unfinished bow, arrows, and a quiver. Those were some reasons why I think the ax is the most impotant artifact found near the ice man.

The clothing found on Otzi the neolithic mummy was the artifact to provide the greatest clues. The clothing provided the greatest clues about Otzi because it gave archaeoligsts an inside look on Otzis life. On the side of the Otzis preserved body there was a helmet or a bearskin cap made of a bear he may have hunted which shows he could've been a hunter. The cap was made of several hide strips stitched together which also gave clues that Otzi could've belonged to a sewing community, and wearing the cap indicates he lived in a cold climate. Otzi was also found with a coat and one shoe. The coat was made of the hide of a domestic goat. That is also evidence proving he could've been a hunter. The shoe was made of bearskin and served as insulation. All of Otzis clothes were made of animal skin. The many articles of clothing found on and along Otzis body was the best artifact to provide the greatest clues on his life

Period 6

the copper axe found alongside Otzi, the Neolithic mummy gave me the most clues to how he had lived. The axe probably meant he was a warrior/leader. Otzi probably used the axe to cut down trees or use it as a weapon. He probably used it to kill animals and use it for clothing or for food. This axe was a copper bladed axe so I thought that he lived right around either the start of the copper age or the middle of the copper age.

The copper axe is the greatest valued item of the Ice man because the copper axe could have shown his rank in a society or if he was a leader to his people. He could have hunted with his axe or cut down tree if he was a farmer. For some reason ötzi wouldn't trade the copper axe so it must have been value able to him for some reason. One other thing ötzi could have used this copper axe was for defense I case a predator tried hurting him or murdering him

Period 5

Th article I found to give the greatest clues

about the iceman's life is: The ax.

I believe this because he was able to make flint,

and a bow. With these articles he was able to expand.

Hunt with the bow he made, and make tools with the flint.

Also I believe he could have made the cap he wore on his

head from the skin/fur from the animals he hunted.

# data[].attributes.body
The axe had the greatest clues about his life because he could have used the axe for many purposes such as, a weapon, to chop down trees for wood, hunt, and maybe farming. Also, the amulet showed to have some type of representaion of leader or just a warrior. The tattoos could have been a certain sigh of leader ship also.
