The Cueva del Milodón (CdM, southern Chile), has been explored repeatedly since the end of the 19th century. Many institutions in the world house specimens from CdM, standing out the mylodontid sloths. Until now, 36 14C measurements were performed on these remains using equivalent methodologies, Gas Proportional Counter (GPC), Liquid Scintillation Counting (LSC) and Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS). The goals of this work are to review published dates, report two new radiocarbon dates made by us, and discuss the occurrence of the mylodonts in southernmost South America in a glacial context and its possible coexistence with humans. Among the published 16 direct (hair, skin, bone) and 20 indirect (excrement) 14C dates, 13 and 18 are consid...
