The arrow tip in the shoulder.

The defensive hand wounds.

The direction of the shot (from behind and below).

The last meal eaten shortly before death.

The fact that the copper axe was not taken.

The alpine location at a time of year (late spring or early summer, based on pollen evidence) when the high passes would have been accessible.

The evidence of a recent struggle in the days or weeks before death.

These details together allow forensic analysis that goes beyond simply saying “this person died of violence.” They allow reconstruction of a sequence of events, a context, a story — however incomplete — of what happened to this specific person on a specific day in the high Alps five thousand years ago.
