   DVDs 

Two DVDs are available at this time. 

One, entitled Iceman: Hunt for a Killer, is relatively up-to-date 50-minute DVD that concerns the investigation of the Iceman's arrowhead wound. 

The second DVD is Return of the Iceman by PBS's Nova series.  According to Amazon, this video "looks at the scientific research--and political controversy--that emerged from this spectacular find. Iceman: Hunt for a Killer DVD Using CAT scanning and carbon dating, scientists were able to learn much about the man's health and lifestyle, from the tools he used to the foods he ate, giving us much greater insight into the life of our ancestors during the Stone Age. Much of the research was conducted in Austria, but after surveyors determined that the body was found in Italian territory, a small battle was launched to return the body to its 'homeland.' The research continues, however, and the outstanding science reporting from Nova keeps us informed and amazed."
