Notes from the SISAL database: Vegetation: Moist broadleaf forest (rainforest). \\ Entity CH-7 (SISAL entity_id = 403): There is a human bone at 95mm, U/Th dates below 72mm are affected by remineralisation processes. A continuous growth rate is assumed below the last unaffected U/Th date. ABSTRACT SUPPLIED BY ORIGINATOR: Preceramic human skeletal remains preserved in submerged caves near Tulum in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, reveal conflicting results regarding 14C dating. Here we use U-series techniques for dating a stalagmite overgrowing the pelvis of a human skeleton discovered in the submerged Chan Hol cave. The oldest closed system U/Th age comes from around 21 mm above the pelvis defining the terminus ante quem for the pelvis to 11311±370 y BP. However, the skeleton might be considerable older, probably as old as 13 ky BP as indicated by the speleothem stable isotope data. The Chan Hol individual confirms a late Pleistocene settling of Mesoamerica and represents one of the oldest human osteological remains in America.
