New dates on northern yukon artifacts: holocene not upper pleistocene

Science. 1986 May 9;232(4751):749-51. doi: 10.1126/science.232.4751.749.

Abstract

New radiocarbon dates on four artifacts that were thought to provide evidence for human occupation of the Yukon Territory during the upper Pleistocene indicate that all four are of late Holocene age. The original radiocarbon age obtained for one artifact (the so-called "Old Crow flesher") was in error by almost 26,000 years.
