[QUOTE]Originally posted by DD'eDeN: [QB] http://archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2016/09/worlds-oldest-snowshoe-found-in-italys.html#IdVpFFKiplos9doB.97 " The discovery was made close to where the frozen, mummified remains of a Neolithic hunter were found by two German hikers 25 years ago. Since nicknamed Oetzi after a local mountain range, the mummified corpse has revealed a wealth of information on what people of the period wore and ate, how they hunted and armed themselves and how they travelled. He is believed to have died 5,300 years ago as a result of a violent attack – he was shot by an arrow and then possibly hit with a blunt instrument such as a club. Scientists at the press conference said the discovery of the snowshoe was “exceptional”. "The shoe is evidence that people in the Neolithic period were living in the Alps area and had equipped themselves accordingly," said Dr Catrin Marzoli, the director of the province’s cultural heritage department. " - - - Might Otzi have used and left a coracle/snow-saucer in a glacial valley nearby? I've speculated that coracles were used to transport ice-blocks (wrapped in [gold-sticky-buttered] sheepskins {as in Jason's Golden Fleece} &/or reeds?) downstream from the Taurus/Zagros mountains to Mesopotamian river-side ice-storehouses, similar to later Roman sherbet methods. Otzi had arsenic-bronze residue and copper tools, so if he had a coracle it was probably ballasted with a metal umbo, which would make it stronger in white-water and a better snow-sliding-saucer.
