Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The theory of carbon-14 dating and the problems associated with the Carbon-14 dating needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Carbon-14 dating is a process employed for the determination the age of organic material by using the properties of radiocarbon. The inaccuracy in the carbon dating leads to errors in the process. Radiocarbon dating is a key instrument archeologists use to decide the period of plants and items made with natural material. However, new research shows that usually acknowledged radiocarbon dating guidelines can bring up short - raising doubt about verifiable timetables.
