Ummmmm......YES! They definitely can be dated and the material's age can be determined. For example take tree cores. If we take a sample and count the rings, there's our age! Anyway, I hope this answers the question.

Which information can be determined using half-life?
age of material
Radiocarbon dating is used to date?
No. radio carbon dating is only efficient for the fossils of plants or animals. As pottery is an abiotic substance its age cannot be determined by carbon dating
Which radioisotope is used in geological dating?
Radioactive dating is used to find the absolute age of the rock in which the fossils are found, thus providing a fairly accurate age of the fossil. Please see the link provided on how the age of a fossil is determined.
Radioactive decay of carbon isotopes can be use for?
to allow the correct amount of oxygen to enter and leave the substance
What information is obtained from radioactive dating?
The age of an object that was once living.
What is the age determined by carbon dating?
The age of organic material up to about 70,000 years.
How can the absolute age of rock be determined?
Through Radioactive Dating or Isotopic Dating.
How can the absolute age of a rock be determined?
Through Radioactive Dating or Isotopic Dating.
How can an age of a material be determined through carbon dating?
Radiocarbon dating is a method for determining the age of an object containing organic material by using the properties of radiocarbon, a radioactive isotope of carbon. Measurement of radiocarbon was originally done by beta-counting devices, which counted the amount of beta radiation emitted by decaying 14 C atoms in a sample.
How can the age of bones be determined?
it is by carbon dating
What kind of feature of a human skeleton can be determined by carbon dating?
age
Which information can be determined using half-life?
age of material
Radioactive dating enables geologist to determine what?
The age of rocks can be determined by radioactive dating.
How can you determine the ages of artifacts?
the age of artifacts can be determined by carbon dating.. carbon Dating is a chemical process scientists conduct upon artifacts that determines their age
What is the purpose of absolute dating?
Absolute geologic age is determined through radiometric dating, and is the most precise method for determining the age of a rock or fossil within a small range. Relative geologic age is determined by the index fossils that may be contained within the rock that indicate a much broader range of possible ages based on the time the organism existed on Earth.
Can radiocarbon dating be used to determine the age of pottery?
No. radio carbon dating is only efficient for the fossils of plants or animals. As pottery is an abiotic substance its age cannot be determined by carbon dating
What carbon dating measure?
Carbon dating is used to measure the age of organic material from long ago.
