carbon-14 dating

[sujeto]

A technique used to determine the age of an organic object by measuring the amount of the radioactive isotope 14C in the object. While an organism is alive, it maintains a constant amount of 14C, but once an organism dies, the 14C that was present at the time of death decays. Also called 14C-dating or radiocarbon dating.
