Then cocoon made 3D-study, which confirmed that under the multiple layers have metal plates (bronze or brass), near the shoulder – a small ax. This enabled the scientists to suggest that the boy is inside, according to the dairy-permanent teeth and some bones that yli clearly visible in the tomography, six or seven years.
