I’m fascinated by Otzi’s Copper axe. Could it have come from Wisconsin?

Otzi's copper was found to match sources in southern Tuscany. Copper was being mined in the Alps, which is where he was killed, so it's a little odd. His last words are said to have been, "you'll never take my copper while I'm alive."

Zoom in on the axe and I bet it says “Made in Wisconsin” : )

Why would they sail half way around the world to mine copper when copper was right in their back yard?

Cassiterite was worth traveling for as it is relatively rare.
