New techniques in radiocarbon dating allowed scientists to date the remains to roughly 28,000 years ago. The fresh dating timeline puts the remains roughly 40,000 years beyond Neanderthal extinction.

Radiocarbon is present in very small quantities – the sensitivity of the radiocarbon method corresponds to finding the sharpest tip of a needle in a full hay barn. The method is utilized for dating ...

So what's the story behind radiocarbon dating? It's not a love story, to be sure. Rather, it's a way to determine the age of organic remains such as bone, teeth, and seeds by finding out how much ...

Dendrochronology, or tree-ring dating, provides absolute dates in two different ways: directly, and by calibrating radiocarbon results. Direct Dating of Wood Cross-dating determines the age of ...

Initially, its similarities to Stonehenge had archeologists and historians assuming that Flagstones must be of a similar date. “Flagstones is an unusual monument; a perfectly circular ditched ...

The objective of the course is to provide a comprehensive proficiency on Accelerator Mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon dating technique and its applications in the field of Heritage and Forensic ...
