Given the figures in the story, it would have raised the average ocean level world wide by about 20 inches.

I think making a causal connection is a real stretch. The world was getting warmer, growing seasons were longer, glaciers were retreating. Sounds as though it was a good time to start agriculture.

There can be no exact timing on events that far in the past.

Ignore dendrochronology. They have a continuous calendar going back that far. When they finally pull up a post from a building down in the oxygen-free depths of the Black Sea they will be able to date it to the year the tree was cut.
