Hello Ray,
Your model compares the two dates to six dates with a true calendar date of -1600. Whichever of the two has a higher likelihood at -1600 will give the better agreement. It tells you nothing about the quality of the dates, just how they compare to the assumptions that went into the model. There’s no way to discriminate between the two dates on the information you have given.
Best wishes
Andrew
