Carbon Dating | Vibepedia

Carbon dating, also known as radiocarbon dating, is a method for determining the age of organic materials by measuring the amount of radioactive carbon-14. Developed by Willard Libby at the University of Chicago, this technique has revolutionized archaeology and our understanding of the past. By analyzing the carbon-14 levels in samples from dead plants and animals, scientists can calculate their age with remarkable accuracy, shedding light on historical events and cultural practices.
