Talk:Spring Creek site

I don't understand the sentence.
The uniformity of pottery at the site has enabled archaeologists to use it as a basis for radiocarbon dating of similar pottery from other sites in the region.[3] - What does this mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.225.34.163 (talk) 11:53, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * In other words, because all of the pieces of pottery at the site are similar to each other, they can be assumed to have been made at roughly the same time. Consequently, radiocarbon dates from a few of them can be assumed to be true for the rest.  As well, similar pottery from other sites can perhaps be dated without employing the radiocarbon technique.  Nyttend (talk) 04:20, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
