Question 2

You are a paleoanthropologist uncovering fossils in East Africa. Using a certain technique, you discover that a humanlike fossil is in a stratum between a volcanic eruption dated at 2.9 million years and another volcanic eruption whose rocks give a date of 3.6 million years. The fossil is about midway between these layers so you assign a tentative date of 3.2 to 3.3 million years to your fossil. What technique are you using?
 
  a. Radiocarbon analysis
  b. Stratigraphy
  c. Dendrochronology
  d. Potassium argon analysis
  e. Grid system
