Description :
Recent investigations of a limestone solution cave in Haida Gwaii have yielded skeletal remains of fauna including late Pleistocene and early Holocene bears. One specimen of which dates to ca. 14,400 C 14 yr B.P. This new fossil evidence sheds light on early postglacial environmental conditions in this archipelago, with implications for the timing of early human migration into the Americas.
