A little post-iceman. About 8000 years post-.

A pre-Indoeuropean hippy. Hair, stylish beard, clothes of skin and grass.

By using CT scans to measure the structure of the famous mummy's vocal cords, throat, and mouth, scientists from Bolzano's General Hospital in Italy have been able to digitally reconstruct what Ötzi might have sounded like while pronouncing vowels in Italian. - http://www.sciencealert.com/this-is-what-oetzi-the-iceman-sounded-like

I thought the vowel soundings a little goofy, but I could easily see / imagine this individual in a full conversation.
