Question

What was the Iceman net probably used for holding Spindler find out

Answer 1

The major surprise given the age of the remains was the copper bit in the axe, shown above, which was found at the site. The copper bit had been cast and smoothed. It was mounted in a carved yew-wood haft. A chemical examination of the copper indicates from the impurities such as arsenic that the ore came from the Alps.The iceman was armed with a bow and arrows but the bow was apparently unfinished and the two arrows in the quiver which had arrowheads were broken and the unbroken arrows did not have heads. Konrad Spindler in his book The Man in the Ice makes a persuasive case that that the iceman experienced a traumatic episode a few days before his death, probably a battle with men which left him with serially fractured ribs and without a bow and arrow
