How on earth could they KNOW that these artifacts are 14,000 years old?
.
I’m guessing they use radiocarbon dating.
I want to know how all that stuff gets buried so deep in the ground over time.
They found a newspaper dated 12000 B.C..
There was an expiry date on one of the twinkie packages they found. Simple math - just minus 2000 years to get the approximate date of sale.
Carbon date firepit residue where artifacts were found?
I’ve got some arrowheads that are pegged at 8,000-10,000 years old.
They take soil samples of the different strata levels as they go down in the Dig, extract the biological material and date it that’s how they tell.
Match cover in the debris.
Yeah, those buckets can’t be more than a few years old!
