During the 1950s, increasingdifferences emerged between the radiocarbondates and the historical dates <strong>of</strong> civilizations.TODAY, archaeologists calibrate tree ring dateswith radiocarbon dates to accurately determinethe age <strong>of</strong> an object.1. Radiocarbon dates calibrate well with treering dates after approximately what year?2.
