Abstract

The fluoride contents of prehistoric bones can be used to determine the relative ages of the specimens with ease when fluoride content is measured using an ion selective electrode. Measurements of fluoride contents of ribs from prehistoric burials from the Angel Site, a large prehistoric village and ceremonial center in southwestern Indiana, demonstrate that fluoride dating can be used to determine the occupational chronology of a prehistoric site where other methods of dating are inapplicable.
