Through carbon dating, researchers have ruled that the artifacts are between approximately 11,700 and 12,900 years old, a time when Ice Age temperatures had returned after a brief warm period.
Scientists recover genome from woolly rhino eaten by Ice Age wolf puppy - study
Scientists discover RNA molecules from a mammoth that went extinct 40,000 years ago

An Ice Age refuge: DNA of humans, wolves, mammoths retrieved from sediments in El Mirón cave
For the first time, researchers managed to recover DNA from sediment at a Cantabrian site.
Study reveals how Ice Age humans built mammoth-bone structures
Evidence suggests humans scavenged mammoth bones from existing bone beds over centuries.
30,000 years ago, European Ice Age children pierced their cheeks at age 10

Virginia Tech study reveals evidence of Earth's 'Plumeworld Ocean' era after last Ice Age
The findings suggest vast rivers of glacial meltwater rushed into the sea, pooling over dense salty ocean water.
Chill, Europe: When humans fled Europe over bad weather - study
“We suggest that these extreme conditions led to the depopulation of Europe,” write the authors of the study, “perhaps lasting for several successive glacial-interglacial cycles."
Ice core reveals Greenland was green 416,000 years ago - study
Prior to the study, it was previously thought that much of the ice sheet that covers the country today had persisted for the past 2.5 million years.
Warm ice age forever changed Earth’s climate cycles - study
Increased ocean temperatures and stronger monsoons created more moisture. This moisture fed growing ice sheets.
Study explains how primordial life survived on 'Snowball Earth'
"Compared to the most recent Ice Age, glacier coverage was much more extensive and, more importantly, much of the ocean was frozen," Xiao said.
Rising Antarctic ice melt will dramatically slow global ocean flows - study
Deep ocean water flows from the Antarctic could decline by 40% by 2050, according to a study published on Wednesday in the journal Nature.
