You haven't mentioned the 'careful ignoral'. As one of the most important finds for Denmark (not to mention Europe) they could probably have taken a sliver of one of the zillions of wood, bone, harness, textile and even board game fragments for a carbon test. We can send over a few hundred quid from AEL reserves if they can't afford one. But no, they prefer a gilded link of bronze for a dog-harness, decorated in the Jelling style, to date it all.
I know you'll think it's a coincidence too far but it was my dog's birthday the other week and I took him to Pets'R'Us as I do every year, to pick something out. "Have you got any dog harnesses?" I asked the assistant. "Yes, what style were you looking for? We've got some nice Jelling just come in." But my dog wouldn't hear of it, he just wanted a book token as per usual.
