A bone suspected to have originated during the period of Ashoka the Great, was found in Bihar. Accelrator techniques gave its `(.^(14)C)/(.^(12)C)` ratio as `1.1xx10^(-12)` is the bone old enough to have belonged to that period? (Take initial ratio of `.^(14)C` with `.^(12)C=1.2xx10^(-12)` and half-life of `.^(14)C=5730` years).
