Chapter 8, Problem 41

(choose chapter or problem)

In 1950, a research team digging near Folsom, New Mexico, found charred bison bones along with some leaf-shaped projectile points (called the “Folsom points”) that had been made by a Paleo-Indian hunting culture. It was clear from the evidence that the bison had been cooked and eaten by the makers of the points, so that carbon-14 dating of the bones made it possible for the researchers to determine when the hunters roamed NorthAmerica. Tests showed that the bones

contained between \(27 \%\) and \(30 \%\)of their original carbon 14. Use this information to show that the hunters lived roughly between 9000 b.c. and 8000 b.c.
