This week, I have been working on my project a little more while at Dickinson Hall. I need to revise my research, the numbers don't seem to be coming out right. I believe I don't enough data to compare and to use in ratios. So this upcoming week I plan to get some different data and see how it turns out.
Also, David Steadman, one of the curators, and overseer of Thomas Farm, gave me a project of picking out charcoal from bags of rocks, that can be used for radiocarbon dating to determine the age of the site from where it came. Also we went to Thomas Farm again, to bring back some more bags to be screen washed.
The title of you blog makes me laugh...definitely the most creative! Your new project sounds kind of interesting...how exactly do you use the charcoal to radiocarbon date? I've always wondered how its actually done =)
