“I didn’t think carbon dating was that accurate.”
Only for artifacts dated to be under 6,000 years of age.
You and your pesky facts and logic and reason...;)
>Only for artifacts dated to be under 6,000 years of age.
“Radiocarbon dating, or carbon dating, is a radiometric dating method that uses the naturally occurring radioisotope carbon-14 (14C) to determine the age of carbonaceous materials up to about 58,000 to 62,000 years.[1] Raw, i.e. uncalibrated, radiocarbon ages are usually reported in radiocarbon years “Before Present” (BP), “Present” being defined as AD 1950. Such raw ages can be calibrated to give calendar dates.”
