carbon-14 dating‚ has been one of the most important radioisotope dating methods used. This scientific tool‚ which was first developed by Willard F. Libby in the late 1940s‚ has significantly improved the accuracy of assigning dates to past events and artifacts as far back as 70‚000 years. It is helping archaeologists‚ geologists‚ and anthropologists reconstruct the world’s history by filling in some of the many blank dates in the chronology of the history of our human world and by substantiating and revising

three methods have significantly improved the accuracy of assigning dates to past events and artifacts‚ dating as far back as 70‚000 years. Using and describing the techniques‚ procedures‚ and applications‚ the anthropological school of thought for carbon-14 dating will be derived. Although this method has drawbacks and critics‚ carbon-14 dating has shaped and influenced the historical classification artifacts to the point that archaeologists‚ geologists‚ and anthropologists now have the ability to
