I thought I had heard he also had a high level of arsenic in his system, which implied he was involved in copper smelting. There was a show on discovery about him, he really was very high tech for his time, he had like three different kinds of flints in his tinder box and several kind of mosses and grasses. The insides of his shoes were lined with a kind of woven grass, stone age socks.

Because of the quantity found, they believe he was a smelterer
