She would have belonged to the Sicanian people, the natives of Malta and Sicily in pre-Phoenician times who built the megalithic temples in Malta.

I suspect she would be Sardinian like by and large, but with more NW African and SW Asian affinity. Likely very little Caucasus/CHG or North Euro as those arrived later.

The reconstruction seems good. It is an archaic type however it doesn't look deformed or unrealistic like most reconstruction.
Of course skin tone is arbitrary. That kind of orange skin looks like a very bad tanning product.
I can see some resemblance with some Sardinean women. Although their face would be more oval today.
This woman has a long elliptical face, with very high eyes. Some similarities with some N African types too.
Mediterranean or Atlanto Mediterranean like.

Reconstruction looks like it was made with 90s tech.

Gracile Mediterranean.

I've long said that Sicanians likely did have the North African components already.

Atlanto-Mediterranean. Pan-Southern European.
