What is “?
How does it work?
Estimate of the age of an organic thing using carbon isotopes 12c or 14c. Radiocarbon combines with oxygen from the atmosphere to form radioactive carbon dioxide.
Archaeologists use radiocarbon dating to date artifacts and fossils. farthest it can date is 50,000 years.
Who discovered it?
The radiocarbon method was developed by a team of scientists led by the late Professor Willard Libby of the University of Chicago after …show more content…
Who discovered it?
The molecular clock was first discovered by Emile Zuckerkandl and Linus Pauling.

What is an archaeological dig?
It is an area which is slowly, carefully and methodically excavated under careful eye of one or more archaeologists.

When was it invented
Herodotus invented it when he was 47 so it would be in 472 BCE.
