  b. AMS dating is much cheaper than standard dating methods that count beta decays.
  c. AMS dating requires much smaller carbon samples than standard dating methods.
  d. AMS dates are easier to calibrate than standard radiocarbon dates.
  e. that it can date to 100,000 years or more.

Question 2
