Until 200 yr ago, manufactured iron contained charcoal produced from freshly cut wood that was added during the smelting process. As a result of this practice, older samples of iron can be dated accurately using the carbon-14 method. An archaeologist found a cast iron specimen that she believed dated to the period between 480 and 221 BC in Hunan, China. Radiocarbon dating of the sample indicated a 24% reduction in carbon-14 content. Was the archaeologist correct?
