The faunal material of Bluefish Cave II (Yukon Territory, Canada), estimated up to 25,000 14C yr BP, is described here through a zooarchaeological and systematic taphonomic analysis to resolve issues about cultural activities at the site and the first entry of humans from Siberia into Alaska/Yukon. While most of the remains appear to be the result of non-human activity, a small component of the assemblage may be human modified
