The material may be that old.....but that doesn’t mean the carvings are that old. Any “when” is an assumption. That’s what has always bothered me about their work.

Like your thinking, realizing age of a material is not necessarily age of it’s use.
Can you imagine some future archaeologist claiming the words of a Beatles tune carved on some petrified piece of wood are as old as that piece of wood? Hopefully future archaeologists will be smarter than that.
