In 1991 a couple hiking in the Tyrolian Alps happened across a body stuck in the melting snow and ice as they crossed Tisenjoch Pass on their decent from Finail Peak. When the discovery is first reported to the authorities and examined there is no doubt that the person was not the victim of a recent climbing mishap, the items found with him are obviously quite old. However it is not until the corpse and his possesions are brought down the mountain that an archaeologist who had been following the story first had the chance to examine the findings and determine an age of at least four thousand years. A flurry of surprise and doubt arose throughout the scientific community; though the unusually warm year of 1991 had yielded several other very old finds throughout the mountains, Otzi’s proposed age seemed preposterous. If he did prove to be as old as was thought than the site would be one of the most unique ever found; not only was it remarkably well preserved, yielding amazing artifacts like clothing, wooden bow and arrows, and an intact axe, but it also shows an individual exactly how he lived and died, unlike most human remains which are found in burial sites with specific grave goods.
Otzi the Iceman, also called Similaun Man, Hauslabjoch Man or even Frozen Fritz, was discovered in 1991, eroding out of a glacier in the Italian Alps near the border between Italy and Austria. The human remains are of a Late Neolithic or Chalcolithic man who was died between about 3350-3300 BC. Because he ended up in a crevasse, his body was perfectly preserved by the glacier in which he was found, rather than crushed by the glacier's movements in the last 5,000 years. The remarkable level of preservation has allowed archaeologists the first detailed look into clothing, behavior, tool use and diet of the period. So Who Was Otzi the Iceman?
The defendant, a man named Jeffery Middlebrook admitted to the crime immediately. However, after a thorough autopsy, it was found that the victim was killed nearly a week before Middlebrook said he had been there, and there was video footage of him in another state at the estimated time of death, making things even murkier than before. Dr. Bass was called in for his expertise. Dr. Bass studied the case reports, crime scene photos, and weather reports, finding that because of frigid temperatures during the days between death and the discovery of Barnett’s body, very little decomposition had taken place .Despite the temperatures, however, there were multiple colonies of mold growing on Barnett’s body. Consequently, Bass determined that much more time had passed than the original autopsy would suggest, meaning that while Middlebrook had been in another state for the original TOD, he was in fact in town around Bass’ new estimated Time of
Evolution of Forensic Science and Criminology Misti Tull Everest Online CJE-1640-1m Evolution of Forensic Science and Criminology Sir Francis Galton has contributed many things on fingerprinting but the major one has been finding the method of classifying them for study. In 1892 he printed a book titled Finger Prints this book stated the statistics on the method of personal identification. (Page 8 ch 1) Mathieu Orfila is known as the father of toxicology, he is known of this because in 1814 he was the first person to print a book on the detection of poisons and their effects on animals. The book establishes forensic toxicology as a legitimate study. (Page 7 ch1) One contribution is the journal he has written is about the improved methods of scientific crime detection and this still reports today.
Amenhotep III's body was found in 1898 along with more than a dozen other royals, including his own grandfather, Amenhotep II. They also found Tutankhamen’s father, Akhenaten. He was tomb was discovered in 1907. When they first discovered his tomb they were not sure the tomb actually belonged to Akhenaten because the mummy was so badly decayed, DNA now shows that it coffin did once retain his body. They also uncovered the tomb of Tutankhamen’s mother, whos name is not known.
They made birchbark canoes, show shoes and the unique technology of the toggle head spear. The people of the Arctic made soapstone lamps, snow knives for carving things. They constructed harpoons to catch the creatures of the seam and clubs to beat the m to death once they pulled them to shore. So in conclusion, even by the very few things I’ve mentioned in this essay you can see clearly that the early explorers were wrong. They just judged the Natives
The Iceman was recovered from an area of the Italian-Austrian border. The tattoos that were found on the Iceman are described as dots and small crosses on his lower spine and right knee and ankle joints (Lineberry, 2007). They are believed to be used to alleviate joint pain and were essentially therapeutic. (Lineberry 2007) Scientists have found tools for tattooing that date back to 3,000 B.C. These tools consist of sharp point sets that were attached to a wooden handle(Lineberry, 2007).
Tattoos and piercings date back to early man. According to Etyonline, an online etymology dictionary, the word tattoo is derived from the Tahitian and Samoan word tatau and the Marquesan tatu, both of which mean puncture, mark made on the skin. The oldest recorded tattoos are believed to be from about 3300 B.C. They were found on the body of the Iceman found in the Otzal Alps in 1991. Professor Konrad Spindler of the Innsbruck University theorized that the Iceman’s 57 tattoos were probably done with charcoal and were possibly done for ornamental, magical, or maybe even social status.
In 1969 Dimitrije Milovich started making snowboards, he was the first to actually create a snowboard. In 1972 Milovach started his new company called Winterstick, he produced many snowboards and got articles in Newsweek, playboy, and powder which gave him a name for his new gear. This got Milovach’s name out there from being in the press and TV. He only stayed in business until 1980, but is still recognized till today for what he’s done for snowboarding today. In the late 1970's and early 1980's, Vermont was home to the first established snowboard competition in the world the National Races at Suicide Six in Pomfrey, VT. A concentrated interest in this sport eventually spawned the US Open, the world's first renowned snowboard competition.
