|
|
These mummies were excavated in the early 20th century, and radiocarbon dating showed that their lives spanned 1,300 years, or from about 1388 BCE to 426 CE. There was no usable genetic material in any of the remaining soft tissue, but some left in the bones and teeth.

|
|
"From radiocarbon dating the bones we can see that the Steppe bison and our new species alternated through time in terms of ecological dominance, such that only one or the other was common in Europe for large swathes of time, and that the changeovers between the two species match big climate switches," Cooper told Gizmodo.
|
|
And since the southern bison were different from the northern bison, scientists -- using radiocarbon dating and DNA analysis of the fossils -- were able to determine when the groups of bison on both ends began to use the path and when they meet up in the middle, pinpointing when the path was clear of ice and fully accessible.
|
|
Egyptian ingenuity Radiocarbon dating of linen -- one sample each from the body and the basket of fragments accompanying the body -- gave a date range of around 3,700 to 3,500 BC. Both samples shared the same early spinning technology observed in Egyptian linen between about 5,000 BC and 3600 BC, when a momentous change in the direction of the spin took place.
|
|
That discovery changes scientists' understanding of Skeleton Lake, since a 2003 expedition suggested that most of the people whose bones were discovered at the site died around 800 AD."This finding shows the power of radiocarbon dating, as it had previously been assumed that the skeletons of Roopkund Lake were the result of a single catastrophic event," Douglas Kennett, one of the authors of the new study, said in a press release.
