³VIENNA (DEC. 6) UPI - The corpse of the so-called Simulaun  ³
³Ice Man discovered in the fall in glacier ice on the        ³
³Austrian-Italian border is between 4,616 and 4,866 years    ³
³old, ORF, the Austrian radio station, reported Friday.      ³
³                                                            ³
³The report followed carbon-dating tests by universities and ³
³scientific institutes in Uppsala in Sweden and Paris on     ³
³grass found at the site, ORF said.                          ³
³                                                            ³
³Officials at the University of Innsbruck who first received ³
³the body for examination said Friday that both institutes   ³
³had received half of the same sample.                       ³
³                                                            ³
³They said the results could be considered accurate as those ³
³coming from both scientific institutes coincided. Tests are ³
³continuing on other plant life and samples of wood found on ³
³the site, Innsbruck university officials told ORF.          ³
³                                                            ³
³The corpse was discovered in late September by mountain     ³
³climbers on the Similaun Glacier.                           ³
³                                                            ³
³Scientists have said it is one of the most important finds  ³
³of the early Ice Age. The body was freeze-dried and remains ³
³of clothing and equipment found at the site indicated the   ³
³man was equipped for high alpine areas at the time of his   ³
³death.                                                      ³
