Popis: Three new radiocarbon dates from two lakes near Yale, B.C. establish that ice-free conditions existed in parts of the Lower Fraser Canyon as early as 11 430 ± 150 B.P. A volcanic ash layer found in both lakes is considered to have come from the Mount Mazama eruption, based on a radiocarbon date from Squeah Lake. Mention is made of the problematic relationship of the three new dates to post-Vashon chronology in this area.
