If this is from 9/23/05, and they are still in the grave, how were they able to date it ?

Let's see: How about C14 dating the mammoth omoplate that covered the burial and leaving the human remains in situ?

Sounds like reasonable archaeological technique to me...

There are all kinds of ways to date a burial site, besides carbon dating. For example, if there are tools or other cultural artifacts nearby they can help to establish a timeframe for the burials. Also soil level samples contain elements, either mineral or organic, that can reveal things like volcanic eruptions or pollen from common plants of the era.
