Definitions

Carbon dating is a scientific method used to determine the age of an artifact or organic material by measuring the amount of carbon-14 it contains. This technique is based on the principle that carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon, is absorbed by living organisms during their lifetime and begins to decay at a known rate after they die.
