The radiocarbon content of 14C decreases after the death of a living system with a half-life of 5730 y. If an archaeologist working a dig finds an ancient firepit containing some partially consumed firewood and the wood contains only 12.5 percent of the 14C content of an equal carbon sample from a present-day tree, what is the age of the ancient site?
