You clearly don't know what they did. You are not aware of the
techniques they used to separate old -CO3 from new -CO3. In fact I
strongly suspect you don't know a damned thing about what they did.

Are you seriously contending that they could accurate calibrate those
chemicals? Or that they can know for a fact the source of the shells used
in the mortar (if any), and to what extent the original mortar was mixed
using sea shells znd to what extent lime was obtained from other sources?
All of these things will have an effect on the percentages of the carbonate
and hence the radiocarbon dating.

Go read their paper you ignorant clown.

Then hang your head in embarrasment. :-(
