Question

Description acceptable. This task is accomplished by using the SAR protocol to fix an equivalent dose and then applying infrared radiation in this task’s IRSL form. The principle of inclusions is used to perform one type of this task. Hans Suess published a pioneering calibration curve for one method for this task, (-5[1])which uses a 1000-pound vat of oxalic acid from sugar beets as a NIST standard and was proposed by Willard Libby. Examining cross-cutting relationships and using the law of superposition (10[1])is used to perform this task’s “relative” type on strata. Many methods for this task, like its “argon–potassium” form, (10[1])work by measuring the ratio between two radioisotopes. (10[3])For 10 points, (10[2])carbon-14 is used to perform (10[2])what task, which is approximated by counting how many rings a tree has? ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: dating [or geochronology or dendrochronology; accept IRSL dating or luminescence dating or relative dating or absolute dating or carbon-14 dating or radiocarbon dating; accept equivalents such as determining something’s age or how old it is; prompt on archaeology by asking “what specific task within archaeology?”]
