The radiocarbon age for a buried tree stump in a New York glacial deposit could be determined from a sample analyzed in a suitably equipped laboratory.
Carbon atoms are contained in most cells of all living things on Earth. Most carbon atoms (98.89 percent) are called carbon-12 because they have 6 neutrons and 6 protons in their nuclei. Most of the remaining atoms (1.11 percent) have 7 neutrons along with their 6 protons and are called carbon-13 atoms, but a very small quantity (called a trace amount) of carbon atoms have 8 neutrons and 6 protons. These and are called carbon-14 atoms.
Carbon-14 atoms are radioactive and are referred to as radiocarbon. They are unstable, and decay slowly by releasing electrons before evolving into nitrogen-14 atoms. A living organisms constantly absorbs carbon in its body systems by respiration and processing nutrients, and the amount of carbon-14 it contains remains fairly constant for as long as it lives. The carbon-14 decays without being replaced after the organism dies and half of the carbon-14 nuclei will disintegrate in about 5,730 years. The amount of carbon-14 that has disintegrated in a fossilized organism can be calculated and used for determining its age.

How do you kill a mulberry stump?
The easiest way to get rid of a stump is to bury it and let nature take its course. Just pile dirt over it, plant the soil with ivy, vinca, daylilies, etc., or grass, and the stump will decay and disappear in a surprisingly short while. Plant roots can break rocks. They will make short work of a bit of wood. In the interval the little raised planting can be a charming decorative element in the yard. If you want to put a little more work into it, remove the stump down as close to the soil as possible, chop off the bark, drill holes in the top or score the surface with a saw, ax or hatchet and proceed as above. It's not very likely, but if the stump throws up shoots, you can cut them off and add soil; you can dig down and remove them, or use this inexpensive no-work approach: wet the new leaves with water or vinegar and sprinkle table salt on them, repeating as needed.
