More recent evidence.however,tells a different story.A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder.It left only a tiny hole in his skin,but it caused internal damage and bleeding.He almost certainlv died from this wound,and not from the wound on the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of battle.It may have been part of a large war,or he may have been fighting bandits.He may even have been a bandit himself.
By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already learned a great deal from the Iceman about the times he lived in.we may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to the history of those distant times.
