Chapter 2, Problem 25(choose chapter or problem)
In 1991 hikers found a preserved body of a man partially frozen in a glacier in the Austrian Alps. Through carbon-dating techniques it was found that the body of Otzi-the iceman as he came to be called-contained 53% as much C-14 as found in a living person. (a) Using the Cambridge half-life of C-14, give an educated guess of the date of his death (relative to the year 2011). (b) Then use the technique illustrated in Example 3 of Section 2. 7 to calculate the approximate date of his death. Assume that the iceman was carbon dated in 1991.
