Maybe so mouthwash would help.
... as well as knowing IF that 'what might cause' ... has actually occurred.
Wouldn't James Taranto headline this "The Lonely Lives of Archaelogists"?
Bravo that someone challenged this scientific process and showed its flaws. Too many scientists are lazy and blindly accept “proven” testing methods as infallible. Physicist Richard Feynman regular challenged accepted truths like this. For example, he found that the popular rat maze experiment process has holes... the construction of the maze would affect the sound of the rats footsteps in certain parts of the maze and the rats were able to use that sound to navigate.
Excellent example of the fact that there is NO SETTLED SCIENCE! If we can find flaws like this in small mundane processes, how can anyone say that the global climate theories are settled science?
Any archeologist I’ve ever met couldn’t get a date...fish diet or not.
So I guess that archaeologists are now working on correction factors to calibrate the carbon-dated age of sea fish, river fish, and wood.
That image is pretty disgusting, btw. If that is a stew, I don’t think I would eat it.
I've always had problems dating archaeologists after eating fish. :-P
hmmm. Gives more credence to replicating data.
Are they going to scale back the time frame?
Dummies. You eat the fish after the date.
The evening always ends poorly when I ask the gal “Do you smell fish?”
