Ötzi the Iceman
Ötzi, an ancient mummified human body [man aged 25 to 35, about 1.6 m (5 feet 2 inches) tall and about 50 kg], found preserved by the Similaun Glacier, the Tirolean Ötztal Alps, on the Italian-Austrian border, on September 19, 1991.
The world's oldest tattoos [recorded]. The graphic shows the general location of each of the 61 tattoos on the Iceman’s body. (Photograph: South Tyrol Museum of Archeology/EURAC/Samadelli/Staschitz
Aaron Deter-Wolf (prehistoric archaeologist) suggests that a single-point puncture tool, tipped with carbon pigment, might have been the method behind Otzi's tattoos.

Latest museum restoration: Galleria Giorgio Franchetti, Ca’ d'Oro (best 15th c surviving Venetian Gothic palazzo), Venezia 2023. The palace was built between 1428 and 1430 for the Contarini (Doges) family by the architects Giovanni Bon and his son Bartolomeo.
The polychrome marble mosaic pavement of the "portego" was designed by Baron Giorgio Franchetti (1865–1922) who supervised much of 1890s restoration.

Rare Neolithic marble statuette from Çatalhöyük, UNESCO world heritage site.
Archaeologist Ian Hodder, leader of the 2016 Stanford excavation team that found the artifact, believes that, even though a ritual object, the figurine represents an older woman of high social status!
The craftsmanship of anatomical details and pragmatic knowledge of the human body leave no room for representational mistakes.
The 1 kgr figurine, wrought from recrystallized limestone between 6300 and 6000 B.C., is a very rare find.

Terracotta bull vase
Cypriot ca. 1450–1200 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171
The quality of Base Ring Ware deteriorated in the Late Cypriot II period but new shapes were introduced, especially vessels in the form of animals, of which the bull was most common. - The MET
Base Ring Ware is one of the most distinctive and thereby important archaeological hallmarks of the Late Bronze Age in Cyprus. The technical ceramic standards achieved in this ware coupled with its wide.distribution provided a valuable opportunity to study the technological skills of the ancient Cypriot craftsmen as well as to assess the degree of sophistication of their knowledge, and ability to manipulate the local ceramic material resources. - Levantine Ceramics Project
[Bull: Bronze Age civilization of Crete (about 3000 BC to 1100 BC) remarkable for its extended trade throughout the Levant and beyond]
