<HTML>Dating an object is not an experiment in archaeology, however.

In the case of c-14, it is a chemistry experiment.

In the case of stratigraphy, it is logical assumption... but not proof. People can bury things and throw off stratigraphy.

Nothing about assembling a logical sequence is repeatable. Except to look at the data again and again and keep coming up with the same assumptions.

Agreed?
