6th Grade/ Iceman!

Discovered by hikers in 1991, the Iceman, also known as "Ötzi," is 5,300 years old---the oldest frozen mummy ever found. Forensic scientists and archaeologists investigating the cause of his death have uncovered new evidence that reveals a shocking conclusion. Scientists hope to use this information to reconstruct the last hours of the Iceman’s life. Before we can learn about when and how this “Iceman” died, we need to understand how this man lived by interpreting the evidence. As a result, you will be able to make an evidence based argument for how this “Iceman” died!

Homework Response Question [Due by Friday, 10/24/14]:
Climate is the weather in a particular area which includes the temperature, humidity, and air quality of an area.
How has climate had an impact on the evidence left behind by the Iceman? Explain!

He was being attacked by a animal. He reached out for his spear with the other hand and then. The animal took one last bite and the ice man was died.

Cold climates could have caused hypothermia or made him freeze to death.

I think that the climate was apart of the iceman because the higher or north(er) you are you will get colder and the iceman got hit by an arrow head and he fell forwards into the ice leaving him to live for million of years.

The climate has helped alot with the mummy staying a mummy. If the climate wasn't cold or a little cold the mummy Otzie would of not been a mummy. Otzie would be a skeleton.

Otiz the Iceman died in the Italian Alps where it can reach temperatures that are freezing and blow(32 *f) and we think he died because he was shot with an arrow and since the alps are freezing Otizes body was persevered with all his stuff.
