The radioactive nuclide 14C decays with a t1/2 of 5730 yrs. An archaeologist is studying a woven mat using radiocarbon dating. If calculations related to the mat's original 14C content reveal that there was 5.83 × 1022 atoms of 14C present in the plant used to weave the mat, how long ago was the mat woven if modern spectroscopy was used to determine that 7.11 × 1020 atoms of 14C now exist in the sample?
