Stone tools alongside mastodon bones in Florida were recently found to be 14,550 years old.

Um, how does one carbon date a STONE tool? Unless there was a wood handle attached, the material would be older by a factor of 10, 100 or 1000.

The stone tools were found in a peat bog, and the peat, which is rich in organic material, was dated to 14,500 years old.
