Abstract
On September 19, 1991, at an altitude of 3,200 m (10,498 feet), the remains of a well-preserved, freeze-dried mummified body of a 3,000 BC, Late Stone Age man, was found on the Austrian-Italian border. Studies conducted at the University of Innsbruck have revealed that these are the remains of a 45-46-year-old male, 45 kg (99 lbs) (living weight) and 160 cm (5 feet, 2 inches) tall. Morphometric, pathophysiologic, paleobotanical, photogrammetric, anthropological, computer tomographic, and other studies have been conducted to determine the living conditions and possible causes of death of this Late Stone Age man.
