Could you please tell me how you would go about carbon dating a '286 milion year old' piece of concrete?

The planet is almost 5 byo. In all of that time, humans could have lived, developed advanced technology and (if they are anything like us) destroyed themselves over and over again.

You can't, carbon dating is only used for objects several 10's of 1000's of years old. Uranium isotope dating is used for things which are older as it has a slower rate of decay.

In his book Forbidden Archaeology, Michael Cremo has posted hundreds of cases of OOPARTS and cases of technology, artwork, devices, etc that by most scientist should not exist. He and his crew found and investigated items that are far older that man is supposed to be. ...Google Forbidden Archeology for some good info.
Forbidden Archeology has been criticized for failing to test simpler hypotheses before proceeding to propose more complex ones (a violation of Occam's razor) and for cherry picking outdated evidence (often from the 19th and early 20th century) that supports their position while ignoring or ridiculing more recent information that refutes or challenges their claims.[16] Tom Morrow of the National Center for Science Education noted that Cremo's "specimens no longer exist" and called his work pseudoscience. en.wikipedia.org...
SO this concrete wall somehow survived for 250 million years under pressure and heat (the process needed to make coal). I smell BS.

This might be a silly question but, if this wall was found in an area rich with coal (possibly dating 286M years itself) does that necessarily make the wall 286M yr old? ...*feeling sheepish, readying for a "schooling", please be gentle*
