Thanks for posting this article.
So far, their claims seem a bit outrageous as they offer no validation nor give any explanation as to the 'how' of their ability to so precisely date this find.
probably the calendar watches that were worn by the knights were broken during the battle, so the archaeologists just had to read the time and date.

Thy found a not from George Bush in the left hand pocket of the knights armor. It had the date of the attck on it.
We shouldnt be surprised because Jay Rockefellers ancestors went there the day before and tipped off the enemy.
I believe that is the recorded date when the citadel was sacked.
They did not come up with the date or, date the battle site to that date because of the archeological discovery; it was a matter of historical record that the battle took place on 29 Aug 1179. They were mesmerized to have discovered this site already knowing the exact date it took place. As they looked at the remains, they thought and wondered what it must have been like on that exact date.
one of the dead guys had a newspaper in his backpack. they took the date from that.
headline in the newspaper was “christianity is doomed, withdraw the templars before december”
