Its always awesome to read about finding early human tools and techniques. But, could the sticks have been 12,000 years old, but the event far less? Lots of people asking how they had human fat... you poke someone's wound with a hot stick, there is probably fat on it after. So they may have been using cauterization. They may also have been cooking small animals while trying to avoid the light, smell, and smoke plume a larger fire creates. Which would attract predators.
