1 Radiometric Dating

2 1.Radiometric dating is the comparison of the % of parent material to the % of ________________ material. 2.(T/F) Rubidium/Strontium would be perfect to date Aztec cook fire sites. 3.This is the time it takes for ½ of a radioactive material to decay to a more stable product. 4.(T/F) Radiocarbon would be perfect to date Native America burial sites.
