Aus der Tageszeitung „Dolomiten“ vom 03. Juli 2003<br />

Dal quoti<strong>di</strong>ano “Dolomiten” del 03.07.2003<br />

From the daily newspaper “Dolomiten” from 3rd of July 2003<br />

Ötzi ein Feldthurner?<br />

Der Mann aus dem Eis, bekannt als „Ötzi“,<br />

lebte in der Kupferzeit, um 3300 v. Chr. In<br />

derselben Epoche, aber ca. 700 Jahre später,<br />

wurde der megalithische Platz von Feldthurns<br />

angelegt.<br />

Die Meldung, Ötzi sei Feldthurner gewesen,<br />

beruht auf den <strong>Un</strong>tersuchungen des<br />

Zahnschmelzes. Sie besagen nämlich, er<br />

habe <strong>di</strong>e Kindheit auf Gneis- und Phylittböden<br />

verbracht, wie sie im unteren Eisacktal,<br />

Pustertal im unteren Vinschgau und um<br />

Meran vorkommen.<br />

Ganz ausschließen kann man also <strong>di</strong>e Anwesenheit<br />

Ötzis in Feldthurns nicht, Funde aus<br />

<strong>di</strong>eser Zeit fehlen jedoch.<br />

Ötzi era <strong>di</strong> Velturno?<br />

L’uomo venuto dal ghiaccio, affettuosamente<br />

chiamato Ötzi, visse nell’età del<br />

Rame, intorno al 3300 a. C.; l’area megalitica<br />

<strong>di</strong> Velturno fu allestita nello stesso<br />

periodo storico, ma 700 anni più tar<strong>di</strong>.<br />

L’idea che Ötzi potesse essere originario<br />

<strong>di</strong> Velturno è basata sulle analisi del suo<br />

smalto dentale, le quali starebbero ad<br />

in<strong>di</strong>care che egli abbia passato l’infanzia<br />

in zone caratterizzate geologicamente da<br />

fillade e gneiss, rocce presenti sia nella<br />

bassa valle d’Isarco, che in Val Pusteria,<br />

in bassa Val Venosta e nei <strong>di</strong>ntorni <strong>di</strong><br />

Merano. Per questo motivo non possiamo<br />

escludere definitivamente che Ötzi possa<br />

essere vissuto a Velturno, anche se dobbiamo<br />

ammettere che qui mancano ancora<br />

reperti databili all’epoca in cui visse.<br />

Did Ötzi come from Velturno?<br />

The Iceman, also known as „Ötzi“, lived<br />

during the Copper Age, around 3300 B.C.<br />

During that era, but around 700 years<br />

later, the megalithic structure of Velturno<br />

was built.<br />

The headline which claimed that the Iceman<br />

had been from Velturno was based<br />

on the examinations of his tooth enamel.<br />

These leave us to believe that he spent his<br />

childhood on gneiss and phyllite grounds,<br />

as can be found in the lower Isarco Valley,<br />

the Pusteria Valley, the lower Venosta valley<br />

and the area around Merano.<br />

It cannot be excluded that Ötzi might have<br />

come from Velturno, however, there are,<br />

no fin<strong>di</strong>ngs to substantiate this claim.<br />
