Summary
This unpublished report is a technical summary of results of testing organic residues and the leather coat of Otzi the Alpine Iceman using samples taken in Bolzano, Italy at the Sudtiroler Archaeologiemuseum June 29 to July 4, 1993. The impetus to re-sample from the tools came as part of the production of a documentary about the Iceman for Discovery Channel (Brando Quilici Productions). Previous microscopic and biochemical analysis had revealed the presence of hemoglobin, mammalian immunoglobulins and some preserved red blood cells and a few identifiable nucleated cells (Loy 1994 manuscript report).
