Through the millions of years there have been several Ice Ages on Earth. The last one began to finish earlier than 12,000 years ago, thus around 10,000 BC, so you could generalise and say it was well on the way to finishing before 10,000 BC. Since then there have been a couple of mini-Ice Ages, but not with ice sheets covering half of Europe and America.
