"A stone spear point was found in the First Room by Grady in the early
days of the 1996 field season, but was considered to be an isolated
find. On the last day of the excavation (July 4th) as Dr. Heaton was
filling the last bag of sediment in the Second Room, he found the
lower jaws, pelvis, and bone tool of a human. ... Dates of 9,730 and
9,880 years BP were obtained on the human remains, making them the
oldest ever found in Alaska or Canada. The associated bone tool was
dated to 10,300 years old."

Any more details on the stone spear point and bone tool?
