PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY!! An archaeologist has discovered a past civilization. She finds the remains of a bonfire, including some unused logs. Will she be able to find out when this past civilization lived in history?

A. Maybe; if she found some materials at the site that did not include carbon, she could use radiocarbon dating.

B. No; she will not be able to find out when the civilization lived because you can’t use dating methods on logs.

C. Maybe; if she could extract carbon from the logs, she could use relative dating to find when the civilization lived.

D. Yes; she can use radiocarbon dating on the logs because the wood came from a once living tree.
