Archaeologists and Detectives have very similar jobs: they have to reconstruct a story by pieceing together the evidences they find, whether at a crime scene or at an excavation site. If a detective wants to find out who committed a crime, an archaeologist wants to know who is responsible for an artifact, and what it means. But sometimes, archaeologists go beyond the task of identifying the remains of a culture, and get involved in investigations conducive to solve crimes of the past.
That is the case of the archaeologists who worked in the case of Ötzi the Iceman, a mummified ancient traveler found in the Alps in 1991, considered to have lived around 3500 years ago, and whose death was for a long time a mystery.
