Carbon dating. The problem is it's never one hundred per cent specific. The process will often give an estimate that can only be as accurate as a few years or even decades away from the actual date.
My theory is basic but probably realistic. I think Easter was remembered each year by the Pagan's spring equinox being near it (because there was no established calendar). This became routine and it's why we work out when easter is even today. Force of habit is a powerful thing with us humans.
