That's the only way of doing it. We have no other way of doing it at the present. Of course, we have the lithic finds from various contexts associated with the buildings, but of course, they just give a general date. But the radiocarbon data, that's really special because especially the data coming from the mortar between the walls, of course, there's no guarantee that it's exact.
We can't take them at face value because, of course, you've always got to think about the old wood effect, dating old parts of a tree instead of the younger bits of the tree and that sort of thing.

But we're actually seeing enough data now to see that we do have this clear pattern that corresponds and coincides, or correlates rather, with the building phases that we can see in the building archaeology. So we can actually see that we do have a long duration that these buildings were in use, a long use life, as we say.

No, I think the local limestone, I mean, it's a limestone plateau where these buildings are actually constructed upon. And in actual fact, a few of the buildings of these special buildings are actually constructed directly on the limestone plateau. And the limestone plateau is the floor of the buildings. And that plateau has been painstakingly smoothed.

So it's very possible that they're quarrying the tea plants from the spot where they were probably more or less erected and put upright. And then the floor was then smoothed and, you know, Bob's your uncle. There's your floor. And it's very high quality, obviously. Other buildings have plaster floors, which are imitating then these, probably these natural limestone floors.

advanced technology i mean they we can't actually imagine them as being often people say ah you know cavemen no you know they were like us they were physically like us cognitively cognitively perhaps a little you know different but if we'd grown up in that period then we'd have been just like them and if they'd grown up today been born today i'm sure they'd been sort of you know on their mobiles looking at instagram you know
