Meticulous dental analysis reveals she also ate some starchy plant material, most likely to have been seeds, plus mushrooms... Maybe given to her by Og, a suitor, who was no mycologist.

Something is wrong with those teeth. My lower jaw front teeth are sharp, like everyone else’s. Those teeth are broad and flat, and I don’t think it is because they are worn down. Any ideas?

I wonder how long it was after she had decomposed they redid the red ochre?
Was it within the lifetime of the original people who buried her or sometime later and she was a legend through the tribe?

Teeth appear to be worn down from chewing hides to make them soft for her man.

It’s because they are worn down. The base of your teeth are thick too- the bladelike portion is only the top half of what protrudes beyond the gums- the part she wore off.
Eating stone ground grain & dried meat, gnawing on bones, chewing hides, running plant fibers over the teeth to make the fibers pliable for basketry or weaving, using your teeth as pliers, etc, will wear teeth down.
If she had had an overbite they might not have worn down as far but she probably had perfectly matched jawsets that wear on each other, too.
