Question
tests hu- A forensic anthropologist man remains discovered at a con- struction site. After preparing a sample from these remains and an- alyzing it using an AMS, 1.7 µg (mi- crograms) of carbon-12 and 2.0987× 10-12 pg of carbon-14 present in the sample. Based on this information, how old are these human remains? The age of human remains can be esti- mated using carbon dating.
