Stone tools discovered among the belongings of a 5,300-year-old mummy known as Ötzi the Iceman hold clues about how the prehistoric mountain man travelled and survived. The artifacts, including a flint scraper, a sharp-edged blade, and a drill, indicate that Ötzi was a skilled craftsman and hunter. The scraper, made of a dark, fine-grained flint, could have been used for preparing animal hides or wooden objects. The blade, likely hafted into a handle, was probably used for cutting and slicing food. The drill, made of a lighter, coarse-grained flint, would have been useful for boring holes in wood, leather, or bone. Overall, the tools provide a glimpse into Ötzi's daily activities, his craftsmanship, and his reliance on hunting and gathering in the rugged alpine environment.
