Yeah, although again, the error bars are too large to say with certainty this was pre-Columbus.
But it really wouldn’t surprise me. As others pointed out, the Inuit traveled across the Bering Strait into what is now Russia many times pre-Columbus, so the idea they may have brought beads back with them is plausible.
