Researchers find seeds in a sealed archaeological layer beside a stone structure. What can radiocarbon dating appropriately do?
Estimate an age range for the organic seeds✓Bonne réponse
Read the builder's name directly from the stone
Give an exact calendar date for any mineral sample
Determine the monument's ownership in the present day
Explication
Radiocarbon analysis can estimate the age of suitable organic matter such as the seeds and thereby help date their archaeological association. It cannot measure the stone itself to produce one perfectly exact construction year.
