1. Listen to the tape and fill the layers in
the “wastepaper basket” diagram
below.
yogurt pots
orange skin
wastepaper
used envelopes
The waste paper basket
Answer key for Exercise 2Method How it works
1. Layers in the ground
Each layer looks different as they are uncovered, so you can tell where one layer starts and another finishes. In the wastepaper basket, the most recent layer is _________, an older layer is below that and the oldest layer is ____________.
at the top
at the bottom
Method How it works
2. Radio- carbon dating
All living things have ______ in their bodies. When they die, the carbon ________________ at a ____ rate. The method measures __________ of carbon in bones or plants using radioactivity and can ________ how old the remains are.

Note: The age of the building depends on the
number of layers it is resting on. The more
layers, the more recent the building.
Answer key for Exercise 3:
The oldest building is B because it
has no layers underneath it.
The second oldest building is C
because it has one layer underneath it.
The most recent building is building
A. It has two layers underneath.
ZH: How can you tell how old the bones
are when you find them?
LISTENING TEXT(P42)
DATING METHODS
Zhou Heping has come to ask the
archaeologist, Richard Leakey, how he
dates the bones he finds.
RL: There are two main ways: the first
uses layers in the ground and the
second uses the radiocarbon
dating.
ZH: How does the layer method work?
RL: Well, many layers of soil were
produced at different times. Each
time people build houses and live
somewhere, they make an occupation
layer. Each has a different color and
texture.
ZH: How does that help?
RL: Look at the diagram in your book.
Think of your wastepaper basket.
When you came into work you threw
the orange skin into it. Later
someone threw their empty yogurt
pots into it. Then some waste paper
was added. Finally someone threw
away some used envelopes. How
many layers are there?
ZH: There are four layers.
RL: Good. Now which layer is the latest?
ZH: Now, let me think! Yes, it'll be the one on the top, which is the used envelopes.
RL: And where's the oldest layer? ZH: At the bottom. RL: Well done. When we find bones in
layers of soil, we know they are the same age as the soil.
ZH: I see.
RL: Now let's think about the second
method.
ZH: I remember. It's called the
radiocarbon dating method. That's a
strange name.
RL: Yes. It uses the radioactivity to
measure the amount of carbon in
living things. The carbon in a dead
body disappears at a fixed rate. We
know how long this takes, so we
can measure the amount of carbon
and work out how old a bone or
plant is.
ZH: That's very clever. Is it very
accurate too?
RL: There are some problems, so you
are always given a date plus or minus
some years. For example, your bone
may be dated to 10,000 years ago
plus or minus 100 years. This means
the bone is between 9,900 years and
10,100 years old.
ZH: How clever! How old are the bones
from the Zhoukoudian Caves?
RL: They are between 250,000 and
40,000 years old.
ZH: Perhaps we can go and visit the site
together sometime?
RL: Of course. Whenever you like!

Sample answers to above questions:
1. catch fish, repair stone tools,
make scrapers and axe-heads.
2. collect fruit and nuts, prepare food.
3. Both men and women work

men making or repairing tools; women collecting fruit and nuts
men hunting animals
Answer key for Exercise 4
Where the danger comes from:
Sharing of tasks: men and women had
clearly divided tasks:
fire and collecting
nuts needed to be
done every day but
killing animals would
wild animals living
near the caves
only be done now and then. So
the women's tasks were
continuous and the men's tasks
were more periodic.
