She was genetically affiliated with the founding lineage.

She was alive at approximately the same time as the Clovis horizon.

Whether she or her contemporaries in the Yucatán were using related technology to hunt the gomphotheres and other large animals of the late Pleistocene Mesoamerican landscape is unknown.
