	abstract = {<p>Initially radiocarbon-dated (uncalibrated) at 380\&thinsp;\&plusmn;\&thinsp;80 years old using charcoal recovered from the floor of the central burial pit, the Fidler Mounds burial site was once thought to predate the arrival of the first Europeans by only a small margin. Burial materials indicated a longer time period but had been analysed as a single cluster of artifacts related to various burial complexes (e.g.,\&nbsp;Arvilla, Devils Lake-Sourisford). This paper reports on the results of eight new AMS dates on bone collagen from burials. The calibrated AMS dates range from 1550 to 500 years before present\&mdash;substantially older than the original radiocarbon date. The new AMS dates provide the first direct evidence for the long-term use of the Fidler Mounds burial site. Given that the dates span a minimum of two phases, this evidence necessitates the re-assessment of previous work at this site and its relationship to mound utilization. These results show that detailed dating and re-analyses of older materials can provide important and exciting new insights.</p>},
