After carbon-dating the artifact, the archaeologist determined that it was of late bronze age manufacture. |
Face it guys, anybody who gets more excited about carbon-dating than human dating has to be dull as ditchwater. |
Researching the items and carbon-dating them to make sure they were genuine took some time. |
The researchers used a method known as uranium-thorium dating to cross-check the carbon-dating estimate of the calcite layer's age. |
Unlike other carbon-dating methods that monitor scintillations produced by radioactive decay, the TAMS method counts the actual number of carbon isotope atoms in a sample. |
Overall, the 1988 carbon-dating has made little difference to sindonology. |
