Are there records of people crossing the Bering Strait *after* the Ice Age?

We all know of the first people entering America by crossing the Bering Land Bridge. But what about after it was flooded over? Did people in the area cross it during Neolithic times? Or the last two thousand years?

I assume people on both sides had boats and other tools needed to cross the Strait in the last several thousand years. Do we have any material or other evidence of them doing so?
