Carbon dating determines the age of organic material by measuring the amount of carbon remaining in the material. Carbon is continually produced in the atmosphere and absorbed by plants and animals during life. After death, the amount of carbon decreases steadily as it decays, allowing the age of once-living materials to be estimated by measuring the amount remaining.
