The method scientists could use is radiocarbon dating. This method involves the analysis of a specific type of carbon atom in fossils. Carbon 14 is radioactive and has a half-life of approximately 5730 years. By measuring the amount of carbon 14 left in a sample scientist should be able to determine the approximate time when the soil was laid down.
