A small sample of wood from an archeological site in Clovis,New Mexico, was burned in O₂, and the CO₂produced was bubbled through a solution of Ba(OH)₂ toproduce a precipitate of BaCO₃. When theBaCO₃ was collected by filtration, a 1.000g samplewas found to have a radioactivity of 4.0 x 10^-3Bq. The half-life of ¹⁴C is 5730 years, and livingorganisms have a radioactivity due to ¹⁴C of 15.3disintegrations/min per gram of carbon. Assuming that the analysis was carried out in 1960, what is the age BP of the Clovissite?
