I wonder how they determined the age?
The wood pieces were too old to be directly dated using radiocarbon techniques. Instead, the team used a technique called luminescence dating, which involved measuring the natural radioactivity in minerals in the fine sediment that encased the wood to figure out when it was last exposed to sunlight.

If they had a lick of common sense, they might entertain the thought that this isn't a permanent dwelling. People follow food, if they aren't farming or ranching. Any hunter or fisherman knows there is a line between responsible taking of game and overdoing it.
If these folks were smart and didn't have too much competition, they could set up a circuit, harvesting a bit and moving on. It would be very advantageous to have shelter waiting on your arrival at your fishing lake, hunting areas and places where you might gather a lot of berries or natural produce.
