It wouldn't be surprising to see that Oetzi or
the "man from the hauslabjoch" was vegan or almost
vegetarian.
He is clearly a neolithic man - not paleolithic.
About 5300 years old - this is well after the beginning
of the neolithic culture in Italy/Austria about 4100bc.
Oetzi had the usual rubbed teeth from constantly eating
grinded grain (whith stone remains from the grinder).
