Can stone be carbon dated? What evidence does Schoch use? Seriously curious, I am.
Stone can’t generally be carbon-dated, only organic matter can be carbon dated. Stone can be dated with other radiologic dating methods, but that will generally just tell you when the stone itself was formed, not when it was exposed, quarried or worked as a building material. And personally I think there are some fundamental problems with some of the radiological dating methods as a whole.
