RADIOCARBON DATING

Radiocarbon Dating A system for determining the age of an artifact based on the fact that carbon decay (diminish) or becomes less at a regular rate.

RADIOCARBON DATING

Radiocarbon dating limitations More than 1000 years old Less than 60,000 years old

How does radiocarbon dating work? All living things (plants / animals) absorb carbon from the atmosphere A small amount of the carbon is radioactive

When a plant or animal dies, it stops absorbing carbon. The radioactive carbon absorbed when it was alive, then begins to decay at a known rate.

Archaeologists have figured out methods of measuring the amount of radioactive carbon left in objects like bones and wood. Using this information, they can figure out when a plant or animal died.

They can even figure out how long ago the tree used to MAKE an artifact lived!!! WOW!!!!!

HISTORIAN

historian A person who writes or studies history
