Exactly. Radiocarbon dating is inaccurate for a very simple reason: we do not know how much Carbon-14 was produced in any one year. Since C-14 has a half-life of 5700 years, even a 2% error in our estimate of production can result in a big error in the computed date.
If it really, really matters, use dendrochronology.
