Research on the Iceman is co-ordinated by the Museum's Scientific Board (Anthropology section), directed by its Chairman, Prof. Dr. Horst Seidler. Applications for research and projects can be sent directly to the Direction of the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology. 

The collection on exhibit at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology is structured chronologically and documents the entire history of South Tyrol from the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Age (15,000 B.C.) to the Carolingian period (around 800 A.D.).
Set off against the wider historical background, the Iceman along with the associated finds form the exhibit's core.
Models, reconstructions, stereoscopic pictures, videos and interactive multimedia stations allow the visitor to gain insight into the ancient past of the southern Alpine region in a way that is, at the same time, highly informative and entertaining.

Publications by the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology

Demetz, Stefan. The South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology- The Guide
44 pp., 17 x 23 cm, with colour illustrations
ISBN 3-85256-102-7
The guide accompanies the visitors to the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology on their journey through time: from the first evidence of human existence in the Central Alps in the Stone Ages through the Copper, Bronze and Iron Ages up until the Roman settlements in the Early Middle Ages.
Alongside the exhibitis of the original finds, it is above all the models, reconstructions, space diagrams, videos and interactive multimedia stations which illustrate the different types of historical settlement and the changes in everyday life through the ages. The main attraction of the museum is the Iceman and the abundant finds discovered with him.

54 pp., 17 x 23 cm, with colour illustrations
ISBN 3-85256-100-0
For 5.300 years the ice preserved the remains of a stone-age man who lost his life unexpectedly in his everyday clothing and with all his equipment on his person. It is above all the valuable find (axe, arrows, bow, tools and clothing) presented here which give us a new and deeper insight into the way of life and cultural situation of a long gone age.

The Iceman
152 pp., with 102 colour illustrations, 21,5 x 28 cm,
ISBN 3-85256-126-4
This book of photographs documents one of the most sensational archaeological finds in the world - the "Iceman".
The glacier preserved him and his everyday clothing and equipment for 5.300 years. This makes him older than the Egyptian mummies. For the first time ever, we can discover how a prehistoric man lived, what he ate, which tools and craftsmanship he disposed of.
Fascinating large-format close-up photographs allow us to experience modern archaeology as an exciting voyage through time and as a sensory pleasure.

Old and exhausted, with an arrowhead lodged in his shoulder – this is how the Iceman met his death 5,300 years ago.
Since the discovery of the glacier mummy, a window has been opened on this unexplored, often misunderstood period of history: Ötzi expert Angelika Fleckinger summarises what experts from a variety of disciplines have painstakingly unearthed about Ötzi’s life and death in research lasting many years. Superbly detailed close-ups and impressive general views, including colour pictures of the Iceman’s equipment and clothing, bring to life one of the most sensational archaeological finds to date. Everything you wanted to know about the Iceman, in authoritative, compact and vivid descriptions.

Discovering the Neolithic Age with the Iceman 
Hardcover, 64 pp., more than 400 colour photographs , 
ISBN 3-85256-199-X
‘The Glacier Mummy. Discovering the Neolithic Age with Ötzi’ is packed with visual impressions and precise information.
Around 400 superb colour photographs with short, clear descriptions supply the answers to a variety of interesting questions. How exactly was Ötzi discovered and how was his body extracted from the ice? What do the high-tech machines, which preserve and watch over Ötzi round the clock, actually look like? Why has Ötzi become the most closely examined patient of all time? How accurate and deadly were his weapons? What is so unique about the Iceman?
These and many more questions are answered in this young person’s guide to the sensational archaeological discovery which has provided an opportunity to peer into the world as it was over 5,000 years ago, and attracted countless visitors from all over the world to the South Tyrol.
