THE AGE OF THE PALEOINDIAN ASSEMBLAGE AT SHERIDEN CAVE, OHIO Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Direct dating of a Paleoindian bone point from Sheriden Cave, Ohio, yielded a radiocarbon age of 10,915 30 C yr B.P. (UCIAMS-38249). This date was derived on highly purified bone collagen. This bone point was found in association with another bone projectile point and a reworked, fluted Clovis projectile point. The artifacts from Sheriden Cave fall within the age range of other Clovis sites in North America, dating to the late Allerd, before the start of the Younger Dryas.
