ARCHAEOLOGY: Were their Parents Pre-Flood or Post-Babel?

Are these actually pre-flood tracks buried of children on the move as well as the prehistoric wolves, giant sloths and mammoths?
Or are they from early settlers expanding from Babel? 
Pre-Flood (... the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. Gen. 7:11) or Post-Babel Parents (Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth. Gen.11:9)?

"Footprints have been discovered in the United States, suggesting humans settled North America long before the end of the last Ice Age, research published Thursday showed.

 
The footprints were left in mud on the banks of a long-since dried up lake, which is now part of a New Mexico desert.

Sediment filled the indentations and hardened into rock, protecting evidence of our ancient relatives, and giving scientists a detailed insight into their lives.

"Many tracks appear to be those of teenagers and children; large adult footprints are less frequent," write the authors of the study published in the American journal Science.

Researchers also found tracks left by mammoths, prehistoric wolves, and even giant sloths, which appear to have been at the same time as the humans visited the lake." KoreaTimes
 
Reminds one of not too far from New Mexico---clearly buried by a mass flood--
"The La Brea Tar Pits, in downtown Los Angeles, have yielded the skeletons of thousands of dire wolves—intermingled with the fossils of thousands of saber-tooth tigers (genus Smilodon)." ThoughtCo.
