While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- In 1965, Yale University historians claimed that a world map called the Vinland Map was drawn in the fifteenth century.
- Since that time, the map’s age has been the subject of debate.
- In 2021, researchers conducted a study to analyze the elemental composition of the map’s ink.
- Their analysis revealed that the ink contains a titanium compound not used in inks until the 1920s.
- The researchers concluded that the map was drawn in the twentieth century.
