🏺 Excavation Trench: Stratigraphy, Radiocarbon Dating and Contamination

Dig a five-layer archaeological trench and radiocarbon-date what you find: count carbon-14 decays with Poisson noise, see how modern contamination makes samples look too young, and test the law of superposition against a later pit that breaks it.
