Otzi Research Paper

Otzi the iceman died by Exsanguination, a process of blood loss. After having an arrow speared through the shoulder while The Narrabeen man died by three spears lodged into his spine.

Otzi the iceman was a man who was found in 1991 near the border of Austria and Italy while the Narrabeen man is a 5,300 BCE old skeleton that was found in Sydney near a bus stop. Otzi the iceman died by Exsanguination and was preserved by being covered by snow which turned into ice which kept the body together and the Narrabeen man may of died by 3 spears lodged in the spine, the head and the kidney and the Narrabeen man was preserved by being buried in the ground. Some of the Interpretations of otzi the iceman is that he may of suffered from brain damage before death, the brain damage could of caused the death not the arrow wound, after finding two dark areas on his skeleton and the Narrabeen man might have been aboriginal because he had

The Narrabeen man started his l as a costal dweller where he lived near the sea all his life. It was unusual that he was 183cm tall which is over the average of a aboriginal man. Unfortunately he died approximately 2000 BCE which was 4000 years ago. He died by 3 types of spears. The first one cut the intestine including the kidney, the second spear was thrown behind his spine and the third spear bounce off the skull. His body was discovered in the North of Sydney, Octavia Street and Ocean street near a bus shelter. The Narrabeen man wasn’t preserved that well because the sand was warm and dry, which covered the Narrabeen man and the skeleton was covered in sand 4000 years after he died. His body is now in the hands of The Narrabeen

The major flew back to Japan, March 9th,1974. The fulfilled promise first issued in 1944. "Whatever happens,we'll come back for you." After this was said by Major Taniquchi, Onoda was properly relieved of his duty and he finally surrendered. Upon his surrender he turned over his Arisaka Type 99 rifle that was still in working condition along with the 500 rounds of ammo left.

There was a lot of farming, but what were they farming? Here are the names of the crops; beans, squash,

Historians and archaeologists investigated Tollund man extensively through the wonderful preservations of his body which gave them hard evidence to support their theories about Tollund Man’s death. The Tollund Man was found on the 6th of May 1950 by two brothers at Silkeborg, Denmark, in a peat bog. He was positioned on his side in a cradle position, naked with a leather belt around his waist, a pointed sheepskin cap with a leather strap that was positioned firmly under his chin and a noose around his neck. The substances in the peat bog prevented the body from decomposing. The bog contains Sphagnum moss which creates acids in the water and grows a glass covering over the water blocking out oxygen and keeping in heat, all in which cause

When we think of prehistoric things they may think of things of the past, but with the breakthrough unearthing of the Kennewick Man transformed peoples thought of prehistoric existences. The Kennewick Man or “The Ancient Man” is the name given to the skeletal remains of a man found in Kennewick, Washington on July 28,1996. A pair of bystanders accidentally found the skeleton remains of the Kennewick Man. With the discovery it has brought up many disagreements about what to do with the Kennewick man. The question now is who is really responsible for the remains of the Kennewick Man.

In January 2005, construction workers discovered a pile of bones whilst digging a gas pipeline in Sydney. Initially, they believed the bones to be the result of a recent murder and were shocked to find out they were the remains of a 4,000 year old Aboriginal man. Narrabeen man probably lived close to the ocean for most of his life, we know this because an analysis of his bones showed that ate mostly fish, seaweed and shellfish. Using the lengths of the remaining bones, Dr.Donlon came to the conclusion that he was 183cm tall. This was considered unusually tall for a man of his time (average height being 170cm). His front two teeth hadn't been removed during what scientists believed to be a traditional ritual that was performed in the Sydney

In the second chapter of this dissertation it will focus on the work of Manchester born and black artist Chris Ofili. Most known for his experimentation with elephant dung, Ofili communicates a humorous and rather stereotypical reaction to how an African man ‘should’ be painting, “You don’t exist, unless you start to build yourself up, and start to work” (Ofili 2010). There was much comment about Ofili becoming the first black contemporary artist whose name and work was known to a wider British public.

The ongoing argument concerning the rise of civilization is centered almost wholly around the domestication of plants and animals. The prevailing view of V. Gordon Childe’s principle “that social structure and organization were bent to the demands of technology.” (Childe 1954:23-4), is now directly challenged by what archaeologist Klaus Schmidt is determining from the excavation of Gobekli Tepe; “that far from causing sedentism, agriculture actually responded to it.” (James

Forensic anthropologist examine skeletal remains for elements of a skeleton that can give clues to the person it belongs to. The Kennewick man’s skeleton was found in surprisingly good condition meaning the damage to the skeleton was done in his life, not due to deterioration. The skeleton showed a projectile point lodged in his hip, five broken ribs that did not properly heal, two small dents in his skull, and a bum shoulder. These wounds show an insight to the lifestyle

One important aspect of life for Pyrenean cultures was transhumance; the movement of livestock to higher elevations for the summer. This practice made it possible to keep more livestock than would otherwise be supportable. For the people of Alto Aragon, this meant that it was possible for every household in the region to possess a flock of sheep or goats that ranged in size from 40 to 400.

Today, the writing of ancients and archeologists has given us insight about the foods that were eaten, and the manner in which they were prepared. Their climate, soil, and terrain of the region exposed that it was especially good for growing grains, legumes, beans, olive trees, and grape trees (Moulton 3). Grain was their primary ingredient for making flour, which was used in the most common foods eaten. Including varieties of bread, porridge, biscuits, and cakes. They

Due to the domestication of animals along with plants these nomadic people created steady food source no longer requiring them to follow their food but raise it themselves (Author 2010). The wheel was not created until the Bronze age, therefore animals were not used for farming, put they provide other resources to humans (Authors 2007). Much like today they used the wool from sheep for clothing, other animals such as goats where used for meat and even milk. During the Neolithic Revolution, the first wolves were domesticated as pups to help with herding once grown (Authors 20071). Other animals they domesticated are pigs and cattle. Because of their ever-growing knowledge of farming, they also would use the manure of the animals as fertilizer in the fields to richen the soil for the crops (Authors 2007).

The emergence of agriculture was a major stepping stone in human history. During this birth of agriculture, also known as the Neolithic revolution, humans began inhabiting permanent settlements, grow their own crops, and domesticate both plants and animals for food (Weisdorf, 2005). Considering humans have been hunter-gatherers for the majority of their approximately 7 million years of existence, the emergence of agriculture in the Old World only occurring 10,000-5,000 years ago, marks a significant transformation in food sustenance techniques (Weisdorf, 2005). However, this turning point in history is associated with both positive and negative implications. There is much controversy over whether or not the introduction of
