This news appeared on the front page of Indian Express today. Can anyone tell me how to do carbon dating of a stone?
I guess they want to date the shivling stone sculpture and match it with the date of the rest of the building structure. It is a very logical way of looking at the things. But carbon dating is not the method for doing that.
