The Tyrolean Iceman, better known as Ötzi, was found in the Ötztal Mountains on the border of modern day Austria and Italy. Found with items such as a copper hand axe, dagger, and arrows typical of Copper Age burials, Ötzi is thought to be a member of a 4th millennium BCE Farming culture from, what is currently known as, South Tyrol, Austria.
