'advanced radiocarbon dating techniques'- forget that they're only good up to about 7000 years,

How did you reach that conclusion? Radiocarbon dating has been reliable to 50,000 years and beyond for sometime now.

well no- that is radio-carbon age- not 'real age' real age breaks down to a mere 4,000 to 7,000 year accuracy for carbon dating regardless of the methods used for carbon 14 detection- for older dates, science has to go to other controversial and innacurate dating methods that have problems all their own. A well known researcher said that "If creationists got their hands on the 14 points of assumptions that dating relies on, they'd have quite a case." Unfortunately for him though- Folks did get their hands on this info
