Summary

Description
English: Ötzi the Iceman - Dagger

The 132 mm long dagger comprises a chert blade hafted on a handle of ash wood. The blade (69 x 24 x 7.7 mm) is inserted into a deep slit and held in place with sinews, without any tar. A basal groove on the flat handle hosts a string made from lime-tree fibres which served to extract the dagger from its bast scabbard.

The microfossils in the chert are mainly represented by radiolarians, calcispheres, calpionellids and a few sponge spicules. There are also several fragments of pelagic crinoids (Saccocoma). The presence of calpionellids and Saccocoma indicates an upper Jurassic age (Tithonian).
