Article citation about the bone earrings found at the Mead site needs updated[edit]

I don't particularly know how to edit wikipedia articles but the citation regarding the finding of bone earrings at the Mead site near Fairbanks Alaska needs updated as it currently links to a website that no longer exists. I have found an article from AJ's Jewelery posted on September 14th 2021 (https://www.ajsjewelers.com/blogs/news/tail-shaped-bone-earrings-carved-by-ancient-ancestors-are-the-oldest-ever-found-in-north-america) that references the same findings. If someone with more knowledge of Wikipedia formatting could update the citations to reference a more modern article such as this one that would be much appreciated. 2605:59C8:1C:D110:99D8:10DB:E72:5BC4 (talk) 03:39, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
