Ötzi's remains were discovered on 19 September 1991, in the Ötztal Alps (hence the nickname "Ötzi", ) at the Austria–Italy border. He is Europe's oldest known natural human mummy, offering an unprecedented view of Chalcolithic (Copper Age) Europeans.

The Tricorii were a Gallic tribe living in the Drac valley, in the Dauphiné Prealps, during the Iron Age and the Roman period. They are attested in ancient sources primarily in connection with Hannibal's crossing of the Alps in 218 BC, and later with the Helvetii migration into Gaul in 58 BC during the Gallic Wars. The Tricorii did not form a civitas under the Roman Empire and appear to have been either subdued by Rome at an earlier date or assimilated into a neighbouring people after the Roman conquest.
