There are various scientific techniques when examining an ancient body. When Tollund man was first excavated in Denmark 1950, scientists were limited in the amount of analysis methods available. The first dating method used on Tollund man was pollen analysis, this scientific method would only bring a small time frame as to when he lived. Instead forensic scientists were prompted to use radiocarbon dating. Radiocarbon dating is conducted by measuring the levels of radioactive isotope carbon-14 in Tollund man's body.
There have been experimental pits dug around the tomb but the tomb itself has never been excavated. By looking at the Roman Catacombs, it is seen that the past influences modern day activities. Relative dating does not provide actual dates for objects, although it can be used to arrange geological events. Through looking at strata it is able to look at timeline events and arrange them chronologically.
Archaeologists dated these sites back to the Mesolithic Period by using Carbon
When an archaeologists wants to find out how old a certain object may be they look for specific isotopes in the object as it can give them an estimate of how old they object would be. We know that every isotope has a specific life span assigned to them. Such as Americium 241 it has a half-life of 432 years therefor if an archaeologists found an object with Americium 241 in it they would know the object is about 432 years old.

When reading in chapter 9 about “Geology and Primate Origins”, I came to a decision to choose the relative dating techniques. It is dating techniques that establish the age of a fossil only in comparison to other materials found above and below it. Relative dating techniques use the principles of stratigraphy to tell us how old something is in relation to something else without applying an actual chronological age. An example of this technique is biostratigraphy (faunal correlation), biostratigraphy is a relative dating technique using the comparison of fossils from different stratigraphic sequences to estimate which layers are older and which are younger; employed in the Early Pleistocene deposits at Olduvai and other African sites. The prime
As part of his research, he plotted the data points of valleys and peaks over thousands of years. Without modern methods of dating Croll’s estimates could not be verified by the scientific community.
Methods for measuring radiocarbon dates has developed significantly from the original solid-state Libby counter to the AMS (Wood 2015). Conventional radiocarbon dating methods count electrons emitted during beta decay, whereas an AMS detects the atomic weight and counts the number of radiocarbon atoms (Renfrew & Bahn 2012; Wood 2015; Strydonck 2016). Radiocarbon dating using an AMS became popular in the 1990s, however nuclear physicists first realised its potential in 1977 (Harris et al. 1987; Scott & Harkness 2000; Bayliss 2009; Kutschera 2013). Since its introduction the number of radiocarbon laboratories increased, thus reducing the cost of obtaining radiocarbon dates (Palincas 2017).
Therefore, with a clear analysis of Radiometric Dating it can be known what it is, how Christian and Secular scientists view it, and see the differences between the views on Radiometric dating, giving a true understanding of what the system
They found slight differences in the isotope ratios from samples of the same meteorite. This discovery was unexpected and it made people question what the age of things truly are. ? A critical assumption used in carbon-14 dating has to do with this ratio. It is assumed that the ratio of 14C to 12C in the atmosphere has always been the same as it is today (1 to 1 trillion). If this assumption is true, then the AMS 14C dating method is valid up to about 80,000 years.
They were carbon dated and found to be around 19,000 years old. C.Many archaeologists now accept the west coast theory as the most likely solution to the origin of the earliest human

Dating Rocks of the Grand Canyon Prior to 1896, many old-earth scientists speculated the Earth to be only one hundred million years old. Through Henri Becquerel’s discovery of radioactivity, scientists like Arthur Holmes and Ernest Rutherford developed a radiometric dating method by measuring isotopes to date rocks. For the first time, old-earth scientist would use these methods to date the Earth over a billion years old. (DiPietro, 2013, p. 332) “However, more recent old-earth discoveries revealed rocks that formed the Grand Canyon walls have a much longer history that extends back almost two billion years.” (DiPietro, 2013, p. 328) Since these methods were discovered, radiometric dating have been exploding across geological literature.

When interpreting concentration measurements, factors that need to be considered include the sampling time in relation to drug dose, dosage history, patient response, and the desired medicinal targets. The goal of therapeutic drug monitoring is to use suitable concentrations of difficult-to-manage medications to optimize clinical outcomes in patients in various clinical situations. Keywords: Drug monitoring, therapeutic; Pharmacokinetics Introduction Therapeutic drug monitoring is generally defined as the measurement of specific drugs at timed intervals in order to maintain a relatively constant concentration of the medication in the bloodstream. Monitored drugs tend to have a narrow therapeutic index, that is a ratio between the toxic and therapeutic doses of medications.
