Document Summary

Chronology of pre and proto-historic periods and archaeology. The law of superposition: the lower down you go the older it is: aboslute dating chemical, radiocarbon dating naturally present in the air. Jean francois champollion: didn"t go to school, had a talent of languages, 1809 professor of ancient languages. Giovanni belzoni brought more goods from the ancient world to europe: trend of memoirs talks about his explorations of egypt. Flinders petrie (1853 1942: scientific approach, ceramic seriation changes in shape over time, evolution in the shapes of the pots, merneptah stele reference to israel. Howard carter king tut"s tomb in 1922. Henry rawlinson persian used to decipher. Paul emile botta (1802-1870: french consul at mosul 1843, began excavating nimrud then khorsobad which he thought was nineveh. Jacques de morgan (1857 1926: excavated at memphis and dashur, also at susa, finds were of all kinds and time period.

In this class we tried to survey the science of human evolution from a historical perspective - we started in the early/mid 19th century and worked our way to the approximate present. How else could this class be organized? Knowing what you know now, if you were to teach this class, how would you organize it? What are the pros and cons to organizing chronologically (moving forward in geological time) vs historically (moving forward with discoveries)? Is this sort of dilemma unique to the historical sciences (paleontology, archaeology, geology etc...)?

IF YOU DO NOT FEEL LIKE ANSWERING ALL THREE QUESTIONS DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ANSWER JUST ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANSWER ALL THREE QUESTIONS ALL ALL SECTIONS OF EACH QUESTION TO RECEIVE A GOOD REVIEW.

2)Each of the nuclides listed below decays either by beta emission or by positron emission. Predict which type of decay each will undergo and select the nuclides that decay by beta emission. This list contains three beta emitters and three positron emitters.

¹¹⁷₄₇Ag

²⁰⁶₈₀Hg

²⁴₁₃Al

⁸₅B

¹⁵₆C

¹⁰₆C

3)One atom of ⁷₃Li has a mass of 7.016 amu. By comparison, one proton is 1.0072765 amu, one neutron is 1.0086650 amu and one electron is 0.0005486 amu. Perform these calculations for ⁷₃Li.

(a) Calculate the mass defect in amu for a single atom.
______________ amu

(b) Calculate the mass defect in kg for a single atom.
______________ kg

(c) Calculate the nuclear binding energy in J for a single atom.
______________ J

(d) Calculate the nuclear binding energy in kJ per mol of atoms.
______________ kJ/mol

(e) Calculate the nuclear binding energy per nucleon for a single atom.
______________J

4)Among the discoveries in an ancient archeological site is a wooden artifact that has been buried since the site was abandoned long ago. This wood is to be used to find the age of the site by radiocarbon dating. In modern living tissue, ¹⁴C has 0.00000000012% of the abundance of ¹²C (1.2 parts per trillion, ppt). The carbon isotopes in the wooden artifact are analyzed and it is found that its ¹⁴C has 0.741 ppt of the abundance of its ¹²C.

(a) How many years does it take for the abundance of ¹⁴C to decay from 1.2 ppt to 0.741 ppt? The half life of ¹⁴C is 5730 years.
_________ years

(b) Radiocarbon dating has been calibrated by comparing the radiocarbon ages of many thousands of samples to their actual ages, determined from things like historical artifacts, annual tree growth rings, annual coral growth rings, annual stalagmite growth rings, annual lake and ocean sediment deposition layers, annual glacial deposition layers, etc. Things that are known to be as old as the artifact in this site have been found to give radiocarbon dates that are approximately 475 years younger than their actual age. Use this to find the best estimate for the age of this archeological site.
________________years before present
