According to the article, "Heiltsuk village site on BC's Triquet Island is 14,000 years old:

"Archaeologists were able to date the site using a few tiny charcoal flakes they were able to isolate from a hearth-like feature they uncovered in a thin horizontal layer of soil called a paleosol, after digging down through layers of peat and soil."

The date was found written inside Ken Ham’s Ark.

Carbon dating of wooden implements and Mastodon tusk, and the material of the layers they have been found in.

This is backed up by sedimentary layers and tree ring studies that go back to 13,900 years. The wood from tree rings is used to calibrate the carbon 14 dating.

The potential errors are likely a couple of hundred years, but depend on sample size and the precise methods used.
