Radiocarbon dating is also simply called carbon-14 dating. The exact dating is a goal of ongoing research based on radiocarbon analysis and dendrochronology. The production of carbon-14 (radiocarbon&colon; C) is related to solar activity. Fossilized microatolls can also be dated using Radiocarbon dating. At the convention that year, Kulp examined hominid antiquity demonstrated by radiocarbon dating. Excavations in its lower layers produced a series of radiocarbon dates around 6000 BC. There, he found hominin remains which were later radiocarbon dated to 17,000 BP. Acetylene is used to volatilize carbon in radiocarbon dating. The development of radiocarbon dating has had a profound impact on archaeology. Earlier earthquakes have been detected by trench exposure and associated radiocarbon dating. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the Erlitou culture flourished ca. For this reason, many archaeologists prefer to use samples from short-lived plants for radiocarbon dating. Archaeology is not the only field to make use of radiocarbon dating. It is an intermediate compound produced during radiocarbon dating procedures. According to radiocarbon dating, it is between 5,100 and 5,350 years old.
