3 Due date: This exercise is due at the beginning of next lab.
Total points: 50 pts.
Objective: Develop a more comprehensive and hands-on understanding of radiocarbon dating.
Specific goals:
1. Understand half-life and radiocarbon dating.
2. Know the difference between radiocarbon ages and calibrated ages.
3. Learn how to build sedimentation models in Microsoft Excel and make meaningful
geomorphic interpretations.
Requirements: Computer, Microsoft Excel, hand-held or online calculator, printer.
I Deliverable(s): Devise a brief lab report that includes the following: Lab 1 title, your name, date,
class, semester, lab objective, data matrix, scatterplot, and answered questions.
