We dug up one in a peat bog in northern IN many years ago. Still had some pliable meat on the bone.

Less than 2 hours before he hiked his last steps in the Tyrolean Alps 5000 years ago, Ötzi the Iceman

How did they know his name? Did they dig up his wallet too, with a photo ID? ;-)

Previous research on the Iceman's meals focused on fecal material removed from his bowels. The contents showed that he dined on red deer meat and possibly cereal some 4 hours before his death

What kind of cereal? Corn flakes, cheerios, lucky charms? ;-)
