Her diet was rich in milk and milk products, she gave birth to more than one child. Her long skull type of skull she shared with about 25% of the Anatolian population, the other 75% has a wide skull. A mouse skeleton was inside her tomb, it must have drifted in. Some of the finds an a reconstruction of her face are on display.
