Carbon-14 is used for radioactive dating. Since its half-life is about 5000 years, it can be used a) to date items that contain a reasonable amount of carbon (especially remains of living beings), and b) up to a limit of about 50,000 years.

How does carbon dating work with objects?

All living things absorb C14 carbon while they are alive on earth. When they die, they stop absorbing C14 and it begins to decay. Radiocarbon dating measures the amount of carbon-14 left in human or plant remains, and then scientists can estimate the amount of time the thing has been dead
