The D-aspartic acid-to-L-aspartic acid ratio ranged 0. 52-0.56 for femur samples of a Yuha skeleton. Subsurface temperature measurements made at the burial site indicate the average annual temperature is 18° and diagenetic temperature is 21.6°. These data and a relation derived for the dependence of the aspartic acid rate constant on diagenetic temperature indicate an age of 23,600 years. The result is consistent with¹⁴C and ²³⁰Th dating of calcrete found coating the bones. -- AATA
