In-Depth Information
By examining Ötzi's teeth and bones and comparing their isotope
ratios to those found in the nearby environments, archaeologists can
get clues about where the Iceman grew up and where he spent his adult-
hood. (More precisely, these measurements indicate where Ötzi's food
and water came from. But in this ancient era, Ötzi would have prob-
ably obtained most or perhaps all of the necessities of life from the local
area.) Teeth enamel provide clues of childhood environment, and bone,
which gets remade every decade or two, indicates a more recent abode.
