The terminal Pleistocene.
The end of the last ice age.
The period when the ice sheets were retreating, when the megafauna were dying, when the first human communities in North America were finding their footing in a continent that had never before known human occupation.
This was an astonishing date.
When the Buhl burial was discovered and analyzed, there were only a handful of securely dated human remains from the Americas that were anywhere near this old.
The number of individuals from this time period that archaeologists had found anywhere in North or South America could be counted on two hands.
