I was looking for this too -- 11,000 years is sort of the benchmark for earliest civilization, so having that be the bounding side for how "young" this place could be struck me as some equivalent to click bait? edit: looks like someone posted from another source that it was with radiocarbon dating - no reason to think that's incorrect, it just would've been a nice extra sentence or two to include to avoid this very hang-up that at least two people had..

But I think the question is radiocarbon dating of what..?? Saying they dated a lithic archeological site with radiocarbon measurements doesn't tell us anymore than they measured something with a given method. What was the something?? I posted an extract from link earlier in this thread about the other site, which explained that they were dating the laminae on the structure that started forming after the fill, or sampling organic material tossed in with the fill, but neither really gets at how old the structure itself it. Curious to understand more if people find it.
