Question

You are given a very old sample of wood. How will you determine its age??​

Answer 1

Answer:

I think that would be challenging, but depending ont he situation, might be possible. Can you tell us anything more about the sample - could you look at its stratigraphic situation and date it by its context? Has it been treated in any way, such that you could date its treatment? Is it big? Is it small? How precisely do you need to date it? What is its condition, and how old do you expect it to be? Why is carbon dating not an option? I know this is a lot of questions in response to a question, but it can help narrow down options.

Answer 2
