The new approach to radiocarbon dating could soon be applied to other Paleolithic human sites, improving our understanding of ...

Learn more here. Radiocarbon dating, or carbon-14 dating, is a scientific method that can accurately determine the age of organic materials as old as approximately 60,000 years. First developed in the ...

A small team of archaeologists and anthropologists from the University of Wyoming, Michigan State University, and the Desert Research Institute, all in the U.S., has used radiocarbon dating of ...

Researchers used a novel method of radiocarbon dating to figure out the age of the Lapedo child, who had both Neanderthal and ...

New techniques in radiocarbon dating allowed scientists to date the remains to roughly 28,000 years ago. The fresh dating timeline puts the remains roughly 40,000 years beyond Neanderthal extinction.

Radiocarbon dating, also known as carbon-14 dating, is a method to determine the age of organic materials as old as 60,000 years. First developed in the 1940s at the University of Chicago by Willard ...

So what's the story behind radiocarbon dating? It's not a love story, to be sure. Rather, it's a way to determine the age of organic remains such as bone, teeth, and seeds by finding out how much ...

A precise new dating of archaeological sites in Jerusalem supports some of the key historical events described in the Bible, including the settling of the city, a major earthquake and its eventual ...

Advanced radiocarbon dating has provided the most accurate age assessment yet for the “Lapedo Child,” one of the most provocative prehistoric human skeletons ever discovered. But the results ...

Dendrochronology, or tree-ring dating, provides absolute dates in two different ways: directly, and by calibrating radiocarbon results. Direct Dating of Wood Cross-dating determines the age of ...

THE turn-over of soil organic matter is a much-discussed problem in pedology. Although much has been written about the rate of breakdown of soil organic matter in mull and mor (for references see ref.

At the Laboratory of Chronology, we conduct hundreds of radiocarbon analyses each year for archaeologists, geologists, environmental scientists, and industry. Timelines from carbon When an organism ...
