36) Accelerators also used for radioisotope production, cancer therapy, Biological sterilization, and one form of radiocarbon dating.

37) Because they rely on estimation, relative techniques like stratigraphy are considered less precise than absolute techniques, like radiocarbon dating or verification from written records.

38) The radiocarbon test result indicated that this cone-shape tool is Bai a Weilu pin bone, long approximately 12 centimeters, was probably has 10400 years.

39) Accordingto Bunce, eggshell is the best substance for radiocarbon dating andisotope analysis, which gives information about the environment inwhich the egg was laid.

40) The reliability of radiocarbon dating depends on the reliability of dating material.

41) "We are able to date [the samples] precisely and work on samples hundreds of thousands of years old, far beyond the limit of about 50,000 years that radiocarbon dating allows," Wang told SciDev.Net.

42) The professor believes the radiocarbon dating of the shroud was wrong because the sample was contaminated.

43) Using the technique of radiocarbon dating, they all agreed that the cloth dated to the 13th or 14th century (1260 to 1390).

44) The material in this beach has been dated by radiocarbon.

45) The initial stone circle at Stonehenge radiocarbon - dated to between 2600 and 2500 B.C.

46) Radiocarbon tests date it to the middle ages, however apologists for the shroud believe it is incorrupt - and carbon dating can only date things which decay.

47) This has been known for a long time, from radiocarbon dating from charcoal by paleontologists, " he says."

48) Radiocarbon dating showed the family lived around 2600 B.C. and belonged to the Corded Ware culture, named for the distinctive twisted impressions that decorated artifacts of the time.
