22 Nov. They have found the frozen remains of a woman in the Alps. The body is over 5,000 years old. She was found by two boys who were hiking alongside a runoff stream. Her clothing is perfectly preserved, along with a quiver full of arrows and a carved wooden amulet of a deer with wild, overgrown horns. Of particular interest to the archaeologists is the fact that she was not ceremoniously buried, but had died by accident. "This way," one of them says, "we will have a clear picture of how this person lived." |
