Some people get carried away with the glamorous notion of radioactive dating. They assume that this is a simple test used by archaeologists to tag precise dates on their buried treasures. Not so. This method is neither simple nor precise. Most of the long tedious work is done by a series of comparisons. Numerous details in each. new find are compared with previous discoveries. These Include known geographical and geological events of the past, pollens and tree rings and other known aspects of nature. Archaeologists, as we know, trace back the story cf mankind from fossils, artifacts and other remains left buried-ithe ground. The important job of dating each new find helps to place it where it belongs in the big picture. This tedious task is somewhat easier when the remains belonged to people who Uved during the past 6,000 years or r so, which is the period of civi- lized history. Older remains from prehistoric times are more difficult to date. Daily Quiz 1.

The science called dentrochronology traces the dates of tree rings. This key can decipher when a piece of wood grew during the past 2,000 years. Dozens of other clues are ano explored, compared cross-date- d with known facts in many sciences. If a large number of these details agree, an archaeologist dares to estimate the age of his find. Radiocarbon may be used to verify the uate more precisely. This test reveals approximately when A plant, animal or person stopped living and started to become a fossil.
