As Ray pointed out he was definitely Neolithic. He died only 5,000
years ago. There are several web pages discussing his last meal. Here's one:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient/iceman-last-meal.html
"The meal was a simple affair, consisting of a bit of unleavened
bread made of einkorn wheat, one of the few domesticated grains used
in the Iceman's part of the world at this time, some other plant,
possibly an herb or other green, and meat."
"he quickly identified the flake-like, semi-digested material that
made up the bulk of the sample as einkorn, the most important wheat
of the Neolithic,"
