I'm wondering how the flint axe was dated.
- The stone itself cannot tell you when it was carved. (Only when the stone was formed... millions of years)
- A wooden handle can only be carbon dated to < 60,000 years. Beyond that carbon dating becomes useless.
- Just because an artifact is found next to something else (the mammoths) does not mean they directly related.
Does anyone have more information about how it was dated?
