The normal activity of living carbon-containing matter is found to be about 15 decays per minute for every gram of carbon. This activity arises from the small proportion of radioactive ""_6^14C present with the stable carbon isotope ""_6^12C . When the organism is dead, its interaction with the atmosphere (which maintains the above equilibrium activity) cases and its activity begins to drop. From the known half-life (5/30 years) of ""_6^14C , and the measured activity, the age of the specimen can be approximately estimated. This is the principle of ""_6^(14)C dating used in archacology. Suppose a specimen from Mohenjodaro gives as activity of 9 decyas per minute per gram of carbon. Estimate the approximate age of the Indus-Vally civillisation.
