Well there are other possibilities. Some time ago I found an article from a Brasillian newspaper that reported on a group (Botacudo) in Brazil that displayed a similar morphology. One of Walter Neves's grad students was working on it so we will probably get a craniometric paper soon.
As far as anomalous mtDNA is concerned, I am still waiting on a classification of the Windover Bog burials. That study has been going for over 10 years but still no firm classifications. The book that was published a couple of years ago had 2 chapters on DNA but spent most of the text discussing what the DNA did not match.
