PAGE FOTT THE MICHIGAN DAHM i PA(~V VflTI~ TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY 200-300 SAMPLE BACKLOG: Laboratory Works with Skulls, Scraps, Tusks University Will Lead George Kerman Predicts Soviet Decentralization E XC LUSIVE INT ERVIEWl": X. Vegetable scraps, mammoth tusks, and human skulls are ev- eryday items at the University's Phoenix Radiocarbon Dating Lab- oratory. If you're'an archeologist and you happen to have a few thous- and bits of charcoal from a Pa- cific island, that's where you send them. Week in, week out, relics from man's ancient past flow through the laboratory. There they are dated. In a narrow room, the staff members determine ages of or- ganic samples as much as 30,000 years old by traces of natural ra- dioactivity they contain. Samples Arrive Almost Daily The Phoenix Dating Laboratory is considered one of the most reliable and productive of the seven dating laboratories in the United States. This is borne by, the arrival of almist daily, care- fully-packaged samples. Those vegetable scraps? Dug up in a Mexican cave and dated at being 8,200 years old, they are thought to be the first evidence of man as a farmer. Thor Heyerdahl, author of "Kon Tiki," dug up the Pacific island charcoal. Fragments of a 25,000-year-old mammoth tusk were found in New Mexico and with them evidences of human life. The human skulls are from a recently discovered "Haunted Lake" in the Himalayas.
