Year: 2005
Type: article
Abstract: The Assignment: Write a paper following a professional format that describes the author's research of a fictional, but realistic, data set.bstract.Two partial skulls of unknown humanoids, an unknown humanoid bone, a wooden section of a tool, a skull and leg bones of an Irish Elk, and a bivalve shell were found in a cave near Vallon-Pont, d'Arc, France.The objectives of the experiment were to determine the age of the artifacts using carbon-14 dating, identify the species and physical data of the hominids, and evaluate the relationship between these artifacts.All of the artifacts, excluding the hominid bone, were dated approximately 17,500 years old; the hominid bone was dated as 3,000 years younger.What resulted was an inconclusive correlation between the artifacts due to the uncertain relationship between the hominid species Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis.
