So how do they use C14 dating with such confidence, for recent carbonaceious
material?

"Stories of abuse - physical, .ual and psychological - as well as claims
of solitary confinement have continued to emerge since a child's skull was
discovered at the home in February.
Mr Harper said carbon dating was still being carried out on the skull, but
he added that it does not date back to earlier than the 1920s."
AFAIK C12/14 dating is very poor when you go outside of range 10 halflives
to 1/10 half life of 5,700 years or so.
So late mediaeval is about the most recent with any useful confidence,
perhaps pushed to 200 years (19C) with modern techniques/ calibration
curves.

What they aren't telling you about DNA profiles
and what Special Branch don't want you to know.
