Someone print them :-)
I laughed at your comment and then, a light came on. What if I could create an Indiana Jones office.
There goes my summer.

would have been nice if they added a radiocarbon dating of the artefacts too
Is radiocarbon appropriate for things less than hundreds of thousands of years old?
Just looked it up again to verify my memory. Most sources I can find indicate that it's really only useful for up to 40-50k years back. Beyond that, the amount of carbon-14 is too low to get a good measurement. You'd need to use other (non-carbon) isotope ratios to get ages further back in time.

Yes, see: http://www.researchgate.net/publication/44683433_Radiocarbon... which is somewhat relevant.
