How do archaeologists date fossils?
Scientists take samples of the carbon remaining in the fossil. They then use a form of carbon dating to determine its age. (it doesn't have to be a fossil, it could be any ancient remain, even a skull from fifty years ago, or a plate from the 1700's. Just wanted to clarify that a little bit more!)
Are fossils artifacts?
no, artifacts are old items of a human culture
What is two ways scientists can date fossils found in earth?
Stratigraphy, the relative positon of fossils in a sediment bed, is a common method. Assuming the beds lie in their natural position.Dating by using radioactive decay is another method used mainly for sub-fossil material such as archaeological artifacts; or for materials of geological age.
Who studies fossils and artifacts?
Archeologists
What do scientists use to study prehistory?
Scientists use a variety of tools and techniques to study prehistory, including archaeology, carbon dating, genetic analysis, and the examination of fossils. By analyzing these sources of evidence, scientists can reconstruct timelines, understand human behaviors, and piece together a more comprehensive picture of our ancient past.
What clues to the past are studied in archaeology?
