Charcoal samples from Stonehenge in England were burned in 02. and the resultant C02 gas bubbled into a solution of Ca(0H)2 (Bmewater), resulting in the precipitation of CaC03. The CaC03 was removed by filtration and dried. A 788-mg sample of the CaC03 had a radioacth/ity of 1.5 x 10-2 Bq due to carbon-14. By comparison. Sving organisms undergo 15.3 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon. Using the half-life of carbon-14. 5700 yr, calculate the age of the charcoal sample.
