Gobekli Tepe's dating

Gobekli Tepe's dating analysis 
Reading the site's dating methodology, archeologists used two sources and ignores the evident development over millennia.
Let's see all three pieces of data to determine if they are credible.
1. Dating using charcoal pieces.
Charcoal, by definition, is burned wood. That means that it's chemical composition was altered.  By itself, it is not reliable out of context.
Charcoal was used since the stone age. If we look under the twin towers in New York when destroyed, you could find charcoal used by natives.  That doesn't mean that the twin towers were 3,000 years old.  Finally, the wood used was, most likely, bog wood.  That's wood cured in anoxic bogs. It's highly combustible and still used as burning wood. Get the problem?
2. Dating plaster
Archeologists used plaster on walls to find organic residue to carbon date it.  Just so happens that plaster used is clay.  Clay is found deep under the fertile soil.  It is anoxic and preserves organic material for millenia.  If you dig for clay today in unaltered terrain and date it's organic content, it will give you millenia.
Now, tell me, if you build using that plaster, will your structure be millenia old?
3. Progressive development aging
This is easy to understand.  Cultures built where there were older cunstructuions.  So, the recycled material from former structures were reused.
Builders of this tourist trap, as well as many others, know these things. That's why, when creating a tourist trap, that's what they look for.
To properly date a site, you need contextual evidence like;
a. Unmoved murals and unaltered text mentioning a clear reference to a moment in time.
b. Carbon dating of cadaver bones in a tomb associated to the structure.  Not just a skeleton found randomly. Must be linked to the site in a clear way.
c. Mentions by others.
... 
Neither is found in Gobekli Tepe.
The Hittites, for example, were lost in time, but found using all three evidences.
Murals, Tombs, and broadly mentioned by contemporaneous Egyptians, Babylonians and even the Bible
