Significance
The IFC has long played a key role in hypotheses about the peopling of the Americas.
Earlier assessments of its age suggested: the IFC was available for a Clovis-first migration,
but subsequent developments now suggest a pre-Clovis occupation of the Americas, before the opening of the IFC,
this supports a Pacific coastal migration route,
but large uncertainties in existing IFC ages cannot preclude its availability as a route for the first migrations. ...
We report cosmogenic nuclide exposure ages:
the final opening of the IFC occurred well after pre-Clovis occupation.
