Otzi the Iceman was a human being, who died in the Alps about 5,000 years ago. His body was preserved in a remarkable state, and the science learned from the study of it has been an amazing window into the Bronze Age past. The following is a collection of bibliographic references I've found in English, and I'll keep adding them as I find them.
