8. The thing is scientists ciuld not go backwards with much certaintude

Carbon dating was not very accurate going back too far. This new type dating allows them to go much further back with much more accuracy.

Also wood deteriorates quickly. Stone, Brass, copper, and iron do not disappear so rapidly. It this case they got very lucky because the wooden artifacts object were near a waterfall so the wooden objects were buried in mud and water which helped preserve the objects so they could be studied.

This is why this dig site is giving them so much more information about how humans were able to interact and survive in their environs. How their intellectual skills were not nearly as primitive as we once assumed. The dating of these wooden objects clearly indicates a more advanced society than we formerly envisioned.

These new realizations are causing human history to be rewritten and adjusted to this new found reality. Our human ancestors were not as primitive as we initially thought. The archeological records are scarce because we are talking pre-stoneage people wandering the earth using wood as their primary natural resource that they figured out way to use and manipulate to their day to day benefits.
