Comments
Bindloss: When originally reported, the fossils from this site could be given only a minimum age of 8000 BP based on geological evidence (Churcher, 1972). The development of accelerator mass spectrometry dating has opened up new opportunities to determine the ages of such fossils (Hills and Harington, 2003).
