Radiocarbon dating is the most common and important absolute dating technique in archaeology. The method has proven invaluable for providing calendar dates for a range of different materials and many different time periods. Radiocarbon dating, however, is not without its limitations and uncertainties, so it is important for archaeologists to be aware of a range of issues when using the technique. For the second part of this assignment, please answer the questions below.
6. List two kinds of archaeological materials can be dated using the radiocarbon method and two that cannot be dated with radiocarbon.
7. In one or two sentences, explain why radiocarbon ages need to be calibrated into calendrical ages?
8. A radiocarbon date on wood charcoal was obtained from Layer N in the stratigraphic profile above. The date has a radiocarbon age of 5500 BP ± 50 yrs and it calibrates to 4450-4260 cal. BC. Burial W in Layer E was also dated and has a radiocarbon age of 5000 BP ± 30, which…

Keep your answers and solutions in 4 decimal places. > Initially, 100 milligrams of a new radioactive substance Tobium, named after its discoverer Sir Tobs, was discovered and collected from one of the moons of Jupiter. After 6 hours from collection, the mass decreased by 4%, If the rate of decay IS proportional to the amount of the substance present at time t, find the amount of Tobium remaining after 48 hours.arrow_forwardCarbon-14 is constantly being produced in the upper atmosphere, and the amount is in equilibrium. As long as an organism is alive, it keeps its carbon isotopes in balance with the atmosphere, but at soon as it dies, it stops taking up new 14C, and so the geologic clock starts.
