no no no it aint
Yes it is.
Same technique, same result, same lab, same consistent set of measurement.
Same.
Note I am not talking about the interpretation of the date.......just the measurement of an age.
As to the Celtic issue...........
There were no Celts.
But there was the Keltoi (somewhere near Greece I think), Celtic-speaking peoples, Celtic artwork etc.
