Theres been significant radiocarbon dating of the LSU mounds to about 5500 years ago that is widely accepted based on 40 years of research.
Ellwoods stuff is controversial because he's pushing that date back for initial construction more than 5000 years, long before other moundbuilding practices are documented (Poverty Point was built about 4000 years ago, for reference).
Hes got his work cut out for him.

The guy in the article didn't really refute the overall completion date that you cite; he just said that the mounds had been built in phases.
