Thermoluminescence works from zero to 500,000 years; Uranium series disequilibrium works zero to 400,000 years. Amino acid racemization works 500 to 300,000 years. Electron spin resonance works 1000 to 1 million years. There's another new topic about Neandertal genome, but those studies are garbage in, garbage out. I remain mystified that anyone objects to being related to Neandertal on religious grounds anyway.

Neanderthal DNA is now described as about halfway between ours and that of a chimpanzee. That eliminates the neanderthal as a plausible human ancestor, and all other hominids were further removed. We are not related to any of them.

The religious problem with RC dating arises in Genesis 7, i.e. a global flood eliminates the assumptions RC dating is based on. Other than that I don’t see any evidence in the article here that any of the other methods you mention were involved.
