Muller, Wolfgang, Henry Fricke, Alex N. Halliday, Malcolm T. McCulloch, and Jo-Anne Wartho. Origin and Migration of the Alpine Iceman. Science 302 (October 31,2003) 862-866. The researchers performed isotope measurements of Otzi s teeth and bones and compared these values with surroimding soils, rocks, and streams. 

The origin and migration of the Alpine Iceman has been studied using MC-ICP-MS Nu 1700 by comparing the isotopic composition of radiogenic 206pjj 204 s Sr/ Sr in teeth, bones...

Following on this study, a similar FT-Raman investigation of specimens from the seven bodies in the ice-mummy cache from Qilakitsoq in Greenland (—500 years bp) revealed a similar conclusion [29], namely that protein degradation had occurred with the human skin, but to a lesser extent than that exhibited by the Alpine Iceman. Photographs of the...

Fowler, Brenda. Iceman Uncovering the Life and Times of a Prehistoric Man Found in an Alpine Glacier. New York Random ffouse, 2000. Fowler, a journalist, chronicles the discovery and subsequent studies of Otzi the Iceman. Although a lot of research has occurred since the publication of this book, the author provides a wealth of interesting detail on the people, politics, and science associated with the period shortly following this amazing discovery.
