Isn’t there rock similar to (?) which when heated is reduced to volcanic ash in the area? (plus an abundance of rapid regrowth of trees)
Can’t recall if I got that from Readers Digest, National Geo or Athelstan Spilhause (or why I recall).
Am prepared for a quick slap down however.
I would suppose an event could have caused an eruption.

Considering the various ages of the ash it was a recurring event? This was likely one of them.
Would firing the pots artificially age the crystals?
Hey, those stairs aren’t ADA compliant!

Or an unreliable age-testing method. If they use some crappy lash-up that inflates age in order to flack evolution and an old Earth; then it’s going to give bogus readings even if and when they’d prefer accuracy. IMHO, of course.
Firing was my first thought, too, so we must be missing something (or they don’t want to admit that high heat corrupts their dating methods).
Always a glitch...and to be fair and balanced I did not cite the creationists
Are Radioactive-dating methods reliable?

Considering the Cosa Artifact, I'm going with this theory.
It's already been proven that determining the age of rocks is guesswork at best.
IF....it could be proven that radioactive elements decayed at exactly the same rate pre-Noahic Flood, as they do now.
There is going to be big changes after the return, too. Hadn’t considered physics, etc.
LOL
Interesting
Wow. Cool! :o])
Thanks!
Will this be another case where the experts will be shocked to discover trade was going on in the Western Hemisphere before Columbus?
A day or two ago there was a thread on FR about the recent banning of Microbeads. This led me to reading about pumice. Pumice is formed by lava that had air bubbling up through it. It is filled with open cavities, I suppose like Swiss cheese, or a sponge. Anyway, it floats. Giant rafts of pumice are adrift, to this day, in our oceans. They have been a means of transportation for plants and animals from one continent to another. I suppose the Mayans may have run into pumice (lava) washing up on their beaches. Evidently, there was intercontinental swapping even before “man”.
