The age in years of the Egyptian papyrus, the Aboriginal charcoal, the Mayan headdress, and the Neanderthal skull are 4000 years, 13106.5years , 2040 years, and 30353 years respectively.

<h3>What is the half-life of a radioactive material?</h3>

The half-life of a radioactive material is the time taken for half the atoms present in the material to decay or disintegrate.

The half-life, $t_\frac{1}{2}$ , the age, t, and amount remaining, $A_{r}$ , of a radioactive material are related by the formula below:

$t = \frac{t_\frac{1}{2}*A_{r}}{-ln2}$

Half-life of carbon-14 = 6000 years

For the Egyptian papyrus with 63% of its original carbon-14 atoms: $t = \frac{6000*0.63}{-0.63} = 4000\:years$

For the Aboriginal charcoal with 22% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.22}{-0.63} = 13106.5\:years$

For the Mayan headdress with 79% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.79}{-0.63} = 2040\:years$

Neanderthal skull with 3% of its original carbon-14 atoms:

$t = \frac{6000*0.03}{-0.63} = 30353\:years$

Therefore, the age in years of the Egyptian papyrus, the Aboriginal charcoal, the Mayan headdress, and the Neanderthal skull are 4000 years, 13106.5years , 2040 years, and 30353 years respectively.
