  What exactly is the intended takeaway from your comment and the provided link w.r.t. the article?
  • smartis2812 3y ago
    That the "9,500-years" are probably for clout. Lets wait on the Potassium-argon dating, if any done.

      Nonsense. Potassium-argon dating is for dating rocks and minerals, not some organic reeds which would not trap the argon.

      I don't see how that follows from your link, which doesn't make a big deal of the inaccuracy of carbon dating. In fact, it says: >Radiocarbon dating works on organic materials up to about 60,000 years of age. Which would certainly cover a woven basket. What exactly from the link should a reader take away, which is relevant to the article and the point you're trying to make?
