In 1991 a preserved corpse was found by chance in an Alpine glacier. Preliminary tests showed that this was the body of a Neolithic hunter who had died some 5300 years ago. This book sets out the results of the investigations carried out by Dr Konrad Spindler and an international team of scientists, and provides clues to the nature of daily life in the late Stone Age. The result is a piece of scientific detection, giving a picture of Neolithic Man.
