If you assume you know the date of something (say a certain type of pottery) before you measure it you will always dismiss those dates that don't agree...........missing the possibility that the accepted date range for that something (pottery) is wrong.
Its like assuming all you ranging rods are 2m long because you think they are and they all seem the same length rather than getting out a tape measure and checking................oops they are all actually 1.9m long.
i think you are chasing your own tail
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers
