Description
These are houses that reproduce those of Oetzi's village in Senales Valley during the Neolithic/ Copper Age. Inside they are empty, but when Oetzi was alive they hosted a hollow central fireplace in the dirt floor and a number of shelves hosting jugs, pitchers, bowls etc. and sleeping areas.
It's not sure that the Iceman lived in Val Senales, however, we are sure that he crossed part of the valley, entering in Val Tisa and died on the Tisa Ridge.Hop hornbeam pollen was found in Oetzi's body (Ostra carpinifoglia). This plant hates ice and grows to the south of the alpine peaks. Moss which was found close to the Iceman's body and clothes grew only to the south of the Alps and certainly not at high altitude.

I comment on this shot because it has an intense light in it---via contrast and highlight---that you get in a number of your shots, thereby making this old history 'come alive' and seem all the more mysterious. Another fine pov, with the wall on the left making angular music with the rest of the lines and planes in the shot. I know I'm supposed to concentrate on what this 'was' and what it meant to Oetzi (and others), but the shot has a language of its own. As for the purposes of such a house, it's just fascinating. And I've always been amazed at how dark these interiors were, as was the case in many dwellings over the centuries. It's just something that most of us don't think about, because we're so used to lighted interiors. A very evocative capture.
