I just love digging in old skulls…don’t you?!?!

How we can tell the

age of artifacts…

Ok, Ok, I’m with you so far. But I’m still

wondering, how can they tell how

old something is?

Everything has Carbon atoms

When something dies, carbon

decays

Measures up to 50,000 yrs ago

2. Stratiography
