Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Radiocarbon dating was the first radiometric method of dating, developed by Willard H. Libby in the late 1940s. It is based on the principle that carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon, is continuously formed in the atmosphere and is incorporated into living organisms. As soon as an organism dies, the carbon-14 begins to decay at a known rate, providing a means of determining the time elapsed since death.
