11) Some Paleoanthropology ―Knowledge on the skeleton ―Dating methods -Dendrochronology: There are rings in the cross-section of a tree trunk. Each ring represents a year. 14C -Method (Half-life time helps compute the dates). 40K/ 40Ar (Potasyum/Argon) Method: This method Works well with volcanic rocks. -Varve (glacial sediments): Yearly melt-down of ice lumps cause their flow onto lakes along with some soil and plants. Study of such layers is illuminating about the related dates.
