radiocarbon dating

A radiometric dating method based on the fact that the amount of carbon-14 steadily decreases in all organisms after death. The reduction in the frequency of this isotope in a sample occurs at a half-life of 5730 ± 40 years. This technique is used to provide chronometric dates for organic materials such as bone, shell, wood, and charcoal.
