CARBON -14 DATING METHOD

Carbon-14 dating is a way of determining the age of certain

archeological artifacts of a biological origin up to about 50,000 years
old. It is used in dating things such as bone, cloth, wood and plant
fibers that were created in the relatively recent past by organisms
activities. As soon as the organisms die, the amount of c-14 in their
tissue decline because they decay by emitting beta radiation with a
half-life. T1/2 of 5700 years.
