Iceman

It appears the iceman was a hunter. An examination of the contents of his gut revealed that he had recently eaten ibex goat and vegetables, followed by red deer and possibly a side order of grains.Also, blood and hair on his tools came from wild goats and deer, suggesting that he had killed his own food.(Image: South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology / Eurac / Marco Samadelli / Gregor Staschitz) 041b061a72
