Talk:Skara Missal

dating
...dated the pages of the missal to the year 1150, using radiocarbon dating techniques. No. Radiocarbon cannot be so precise: the dating would be in the form "1150 plus/minus x years". That should be reflected in the text. But covers made of oak wood covered with leather, which in turn have been dated to 1264 must be based on the well-established dendrochronology, which dates the oak panels, but not the leather, as suggested in the text. The link to dendrochronology would be useful to the Wikipedia reader.--Wetman (talk) 03:19, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I've added the bit about dendrochronology. As for the other part, I've kept strictly to what the source says. Yakikaki (talk) 08:03, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
