Ötzi the Ice Man - he looked different and came from somewhere else. A new study disproves previous ideas

Ötzi's well-preserved body from the Copper Age between 3350 and 3120 BC was discovered by hikers in the Alps near the Austrian-Italian border in 1991. In 2012, the first DNA analysis found genetic traits of steppe herders from Eastern Europe in the mummy's ancestors. But the latest high-quality genetic analysis of DNA sequencing refutes the previous results. Ötzi was much closer to early Anatolian farmers. The study also provides completely different information about Ötzi's appearance.

Study placement in Slovenia - research on the Roman city of Emona

The research takes place in the former northern part of the city, near the National Theatre inIgrisská Street, where the foundations of an insula, the equivalent of today's apartment buildings, are being uncovered.

Because of these dangers, apartments on the upper floors were cheap and in low demand, and thus more sought after by the lower to middle class.
