Pesonally I don't see any problem with the dating of the foundation of Bergen. I also don't see any problem with the pottery dating to the date range suggested by the C14 analysis.

In other words it seems to be another of those archaeological speculations that on closer examination is not quite as exciting as it supposes.....
