The "best" C14 study was the 1995 mortar sample report on G1. Unfortunately, it was wrought with dubious (inexplicably discarded) and contaminated (biased surface samples) data. But even though there was a very clear possibility of contamination with modern carbon, the analyses still dated the pyramids an average of a couple centuries older. How much older would the dates have been if the data was derived from random deep core - rather than selected surface - samples?
