A Closer Look
After closely inspecting the hearth a little bit more, the archeologists were able to uncover ancient charcoal remains. This was a great find, as it could be used in carbon dating. They quickly brought it to the lab for testing. When they received the results, the entire team of researchers was gobbsmacked. Everything they thought they knew had been a total lie the entire time...
Old Charcoal
This wasn't just any old charcoal, this charcoal could be given an approximate date as to when the last people used it. When the carbon dating came back, it revealed that the civilization was likely an astounding 14,000 years old! This ancient rubble then became the oldest carbon remains to ever be found on the North American continent. What else could they find out about the glacier contents?
