Resumo
Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) dating and faunal analysis have served to reidentify an implement, fashioned from what was believed to be a proboscidean fibula, as a cranium and antler section of a modern moose. This reconciles the discrepancy between the generally accepted date for the extinction of mammoths and mastodons (before 10,000 years ago) with the recession of glacial Lake Agassiz from the site after 8,000 years ago.
