Its profound impact has opened the door for scientists to assign accurate timeline data to found objects, enabling them to ask even deeper questions about their work and how it relates to discoveries from across the globe. Through a close examination of the fundamental principles of physics involved in radiocarbon dating, as well as color photographs and sidebars, this book transforms a complicated science into an accessible, engaging, and eye-opening ride, page after page.
