Carbon14 dating (isotopic dating)
Yes, but the dating is only off a little (500 years or so).
The main limitations of using Carbon14 dating to find the age of something that is carbon base are firstly the possibility that carbon may be absorbed by some things making it more difficult to get an absolutely accurate age and secondly, with Carbon14 only having a half life of 5,568 years the maximum theoretical limit for detection is 100,000 years.
Too little carbon-14 remains after 50,000 years
The half life of C14 is about 5700 years, so items that are a few multiples of this time are suitable for carbon14 dating. Most archaeological items are suitable, and some young fossils.
In radiocarbon dating, the carbon-14 levels in the object being dated are compared with _____.
Dating is not assumed or expected to lead to marriage these days
