Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electron spin resonance and thermoluminescence are both effective dating methods for hominin fossils that are between 100,000 and 4 million years old. Both of these methods help measure how long it has been since radiation was last absorbed by the fossil. However, the amino acid method is not effective for dating fossils that are older than 100,000 years.
