Pollen and DNA testing from the body and elothing of the person will reveal the genetic background, health and possible vegetation of the area and thne he lived in. The remains were found Aug. 16 by sheep farmers hunting ill the area. Scientists won't say whether the body's head was found -- nor will they release a full inventory of the ancient corpse -- saying only that the body, including skin and other soft tissue was found in a "near intact" state. That's in deference to the Champagne-Aishihik people, who have asked that photos and descriptions of the corpse be limited in an attempt to treat the person with "respect and dignity." I ¢-'
