The astonishing revelation of a 5,300-year-old ice manโ€™s preserved corpse stands as a testament to the awe-inspiring wonders of nature.

A new study suggests that nearly everything archaeologists thought they knew about the 5,300-year-old corpseโ€™s preservation was wrong

Archaeologists unearth ร–tzi

In September 1991, German hikers exploring the Tyrolean Alps between Italy and Austria made a shocking discovery: a human corpse. Though officials initially assumed that the man had died recently, archaeologists later revealed that the bodyโ€”which had been shot in the back with an arrowโ€”was roughly 5,300 years old. Somehow, the ice, snow, sun, wind and other conditions of the high-alpine environment had preserved the body for the ages.

The ice mummy later earned the nickname โ€œร–tzi,โ€ a reference to the nearby ร–tztal Valley. Since 1998, theย South Tyrol Museum of Archaeologyย in Bolzano, Italy, has housed his body in a special cold cell unit. Visitors can look at ร–tzi through a small window, as well as view restored pieces of his clothing and equipment.

At the time, researchers assumed that the find was an unusual one-off, the result of a perfect storm of weather and climate conditions that just so happened to coalesce to preserve the bodyโ€”essentially, they thought it was a happy accident.

But new research suggests otherwise. And, as global temperatures rise because of human-caused climate change and ice melts around the world, more historic bodies and other artifacts are likely to surface, according to a new paper published this week inย The Holocene.

When archaeologists first began to ponder the conditions that preservedย ร–tzi, one prevailing theory went like this: Late in the year, the iceman was running away from someone or something, possibly a conflict, and decided to hide out in the mountains. He ultimately died there and quickly became buried in winter snow. ร–tzi fell into a shallow gully, which protected him from the movement ofย glaciers. Then, not long after, the climate evolved and temperatures dropped for hundreds of years, encasing his body in ice.

He remained that way until 1991, scientists agreed, when the snow and ice began to melt away and revealed part of his body.

โ€œThe general understanding was that ร–tzi marked this beginning of a cooler period, as people were sure that [he] must have been within the ice without interruption since his death,โ€ saysย Matthias Huss, a glaciologist at ETH Zรผrich in Switzerland who was not involved in the new paper, toย Scienceโ€™s Andrew Curry.

Now, however, archaeologists believe there wasnโ€™t so much serendipity involved. Some 30 years after the discovery of ร–tzi, some researchers decided to take a fresh look at the evidenceโ€”and that led them to a new theory. Based on radiocarbon dating and other analyses of the leaves, seeds,ย moss, grass and dung found near his body, they believe ร–tzi actually died in the spring, rather than the fall, which means his corpse was exposed during the summer. And because some of these organic materials were found to be younger than ร–tzi, the team posits that the site was open to the air on multiple occasions during the last 5,300 years. This all points to a different story: that ร–tzi was regularly exposed to the elements, not cocooned in an iron-clad, frozen time capsule.

They also now believe that ร–tzi died somewhere other than the gully where he was discovered. Archaeologists found his damaged belongings dispersed around the site, which suggests that he died at a higher elevation and that, sometime later, spring and summer runoff or shifting ice likely pushed his body into the gully.

โ€œThe big test is to imagine that ร–tzi was found today,โ€ says study co-authorย Lars Pilรธ, an archaeologist with the Oppland County Glacier Archaeological Program in Norway, toย ScienceNorwayโ€™s Ida Irene Bergstrรธm. โ€œWith everything we now know about how glacial archaeological localities work, would anybody have come up with [this] theory? The answer to that is no. We donโ€™t need the string of miracles, ร–tzi was preserved by regular natural processes.โ€

Indeed, since ร–tziโ€™s discovery, archaeologists have discoveredย other human bodies,ย horse remains,ย skis,ย hunting gearย andย other historic artifactsย in melting glaciers. Though in the early 1990s, researchers assumed ร–tziโ€™s preservation was a fluke, that now seems not to be the case.

Taken together, these new conclusions go against the long-held belief that ร–tziโ€™s death marked the beginning of a long-lasting cold era of the climate.

In addition, as ice continues to melt as a result of global warming, the findings suggest hikersโ€”and researchersโ€”may want to keep their eyes peeled for even more remarkable finds like ร–tzi.

โ€œThe find circumstances of ร–tzi are quite normal for glacial archaeology,โ€ the researchers write in the paper. โ€œThe chances of finding another prehistoric human body in a similar topographical settingโ€ฆ should therefore be higher than previously believed, since a string of special circumstances is not needed for the preservation of this type of find, and relevant locations are now affected by heavy melt events.โ€

C๐šŽlebrating th๐šŽ Remarkable Discovery of the โ€œGolden Treasureโ€: 18.5 kg of Roman Gold and 2,500 Glittering Pieces

The mแด€ssive Trier Gold Hoard: 2,650 Roman aurei coins weighing 18.5 kg. Unearthed in 1993 in the cellar of a Roman administrative building of ancient Augusta Treverorum. The hoard was deposited during the Antonine Plague or โ€˜Plague of Galenโ€™ in the late 2nd century AD.

It was discovered by chance during the excavation of an underground parking garage in the city. It is the largest preserved Roman Imperial gold hoard.Study has shown the Trier hoard was first deposited in 167 AD at the height of the Antonine Plague: a catastrophic pandemic that killed an estimated 5 million people around the Roman Empire

including, in all likelihood, the Roman Emperor Lucius Verus.

The 2,650 aurei of the Trier Gold Hoard date from 63 AD (Nero) to 196 AD (Septimius Severus โ€“ pictured) including 84 previously unknown coin types.

The hoard appears to have been added to over the decades, with a final group of aurei added in 197 AD as the usurper Clodius Albinus besieged the city. At this point, the administrator of the hoard seems to have taken the knowledge of its existence with him to the grave
