The half life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5.73 × 10 years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon-14 in a tiny sample of an artifact made of wood from an archeological dig is measured to be 49. Bq. The activity in a similar-sized sample of fresh wood is measured to be 52. Bq. Calculate the age of the artifact. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
