Were there any special methods used excavate the iceman?

Otzi was first discovered by two German Tourists, Helmut and Erika Simon. They immediately reported the body to the local Authorities. The police fearing it to be a recent homocide victim attempted to release the body with a pic axe and power chisel but failed.

Only to release a copper axe. Stating the body as suspicous the authorities contacted a local Archaeologist( who even after being told the body was under suspicous circumstances) "forgot" too bring any excavation tools. What occured next was a desperate excavation using pic axes.

Chisels and hammers. During the process Otzi suffered a broken hip-bone and a badly damaged right leg. It was alaso thought he suffered numerous other cuts and bone breakages but these were later diagnosed as injuries before Otzies death.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
