How do you make Mosaics?
You can buy mosaic tiles in craft stores made out of glass or polymer clay. I make my own with polymer clay. The clay comes in several colors. You can roll it out and cut into squares or any shape you need. I also use the marbles that are flat on one side, near florals in department stores, broken shower doors, broken floor tiles, sea shells, etc..Lay out your design dry to get it like you want it, then stick on wood, wood furniture,in wet cement, anything you can think of that will adhere to your tiles and what you want to put it on. After dry, grout it, seal it with a product called Duron Plastic Kote layered til covered good and even, or polyurethane it to seal it. In cement projects, just seal it with the cement sealer at the time you seal the cement. It's fun because you can use just about anything. I have even broken up old ceramic toilets and glass bowls and plates.
How can you tell how old a artafact is?
Artifacts can be dated using various methods such as radiocarbon dating, dendrochronology (tree-ring dating), thermoluminescence dating, and stratigraphy.

Can radiocarbon dating be used to determine the age of dinosaur fossils?
