Little John is an archaeological site in Yukon, Canada, located 25 km (16 mi) northwest of the White River First Nation community of Beaver Creek, from which human artefacts and ancient animal bones have been radiocarbon dated to 14,000 years before present (BP), earlier than the generally accepted time for human migration into the Americas and one of the oldest sites in Beringia.[1]
The Little John site lies at the edge of the Mirror Creek glacial advance (central Yukon's Reid, or North American Illinoian glacial events).[2]
