Q1
A: we're able to estimate death date. even if it died during kaxna kingdom period, we have no knowledge of whether it was produced ON kaxna.
B: ratios of chemical elements, but no clue whether elements are specific to Kaxna
C: like A. we know it was fired during kaxna kingdom period, but don't know if it was produced ON kaxna.
D: this sounds most correct. if ratios are unique to a mine on kaxna, and metal isotopes 'differ according to where the sample was obtained,' then its likely this item was produced on Kaxna.
E: just because it was found near there doesn't mean it was made there.
Q2
Just by estimating and using these equations and shorthand. The goal is to not exceed 7000.
clay = TL tests (T)
metal = ICPMS (I)
wood = radiocarbon (R)
animal/bones (unlimited)
7000 = 4T + 15R
7000 = 40I
This question is really about estimating and ratios.
1) if we halve the number of clay (T) and only use 10 brone statues (I), we're probably within budget (we won't exceed 7000).
2) we're increasing the number of clay by 1 from the previous question (T), but we're decreasing the number of metal by half (10 to 5). Estimating we're within budget.
3) We already have the cost of 4 clay and 20 statues, guessing that'll exceed the budget.
Q3
1) No-- we only get ratios of traces of metallic isotopes, nothing about dates
2) Yes-- it says 'dating is used to provide an estimate of the time since clay was fired to create the object'
3) Yes (this is tricky). While we only get date of death from carbon dating, under 'Artifacts' we see that 'wooden artifacts of that time were generally created within 2 years after tree harvest'. We can assume that the tree will die once its harvested, so from this info we'll know when that the wooden artifacts would be created within 2 years after the dating estimates time of death.
Q4
1) No-- IRMS only allows us to determine the ratios of chemical elements present.
2) Yes-- If we know it was fired 1050 BC +- 100 years, it could have been fired from 1150BC-950BC, well within the range of Kaxna.
3) No-- Even if has the same metals as a Kaxna mine, it could've been created before or after Kaxna.
Q5
1) No. Using our equation, where 7000 = 4T (R = 0 in this scenario) and T = 1750). 5T = (1750)(5), which is > 7000.
2) Yes.
7000 = 15R -> R ~ 46
20I = 3500 (just divided OG equation by 2).
total is (46)(15) + 3500 which is < 7000
3. Yes. 15 radiocarbon is already factored into the first equation even with the clay, so we know the wooden part is okay. Bone is unlimited.
Q6
We are only asked about what we can determine about the bead, nothing else.
We can perform TL dating on clay objects to figure out when the object was fired, so A is correct.

Hi experts, I need your help in evaluation option A in question 5, which reads "2 bone implements and 5S fired-clay cups decorated with gold".
my question is that the question reads "can be shown to be within the museum’s first year budget". So by adjusting for either of the variables, I can try and prove that option A in question 5 "can" be within the budget. Please refer the below calculations and guide me accordingly.
We know from the question that there's no charge for evaluating bone implements, so lets ignore them for time being.
"total of $7,000—equal to the cost of 4 TL tests plus 15 radiocarbon tests, or the cost of 40 ICP-MS tests—for all other tests"
1) for assessing gold, I can use ICP-MS, which costs 7000/40, .i.e $ 175/ test. Remaining budget - 7000 - (5*175) =>$ 6,125
2) for assessing the clay, I have to use TL test. But I have the flexibility of assuming the price of the TL test, as long as the condition :4TL + 15 Radio carbon = 7,000) is honored
therefore if I assume, the cost of 15 radio carbon tests to equal 6500, the cost of 4 TL tests is $500, from which I can extrapolate that costs of 5 TL tests shall be 625, way lower than my remaining budget of 6,125.
Pls help,
thanks in advance
