AMS Dating of Late Pleistocene Salmonids from Kamloops Lake, British Columbia / Datation par la technique SMA de salmonidés du pléistoc&

Abstract

Late Pleistocene age determinations on salmon bones from a geological site on Kamloops Lake, British Columbia are discussed. AMS radiocarbon dates ranging between 18,100 and 15,500 B.P. are problematic for current ice cover models in the southern interior Plateau. Implications for environmental reconstruction, salmon zoogeography, and archaeology are presented.
