Archaeologists have used high-resolution scans to produce images of tattoos found on an ancient woman in an ice cave. This woman was part of the Pazyryk people, a nomadic Scythian culture (documented by the Ancient Greek historian, Herodotus) which existed between the 6th and 3rd centuries BC in the area of modern day Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and North Western China. The “Ice mummies” were found in the Altai mountains of Central Asia in the 19th century. Joseph Keen has been speaking to Dr Gino Caspari, archaeologist, entrepreneur and explorer from the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology and the University of Bern. He was the lead author of the research.
