Not 'ill-thought out'......................just trying to tease out a discussion.
The recent re-dating of the graves from Duggleby Howe, see:
Gibson, A. and Bayliss, A. (2009) ‘Recent Research at Duggleby Howe, North Yorkshire.’ The Archaeological Journal 166, 50-59
Where by choosing what to date carefully and understanding the errors involved in radiocarbon dating they could phase the burials and even showed curation of objects as one grave had an object (a mace or something I think) placed in it that was much older than the burial.
how was the mace dated?
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers
