LoginUse Omni's radiocarbon dating calculator to determine the age of prehistoric organic carbon-based samples. This radiocarbon dating calculator uses the carbon 14 dating technique to determine the age of archaeological artifacts from the percentage of carbon 14 C left in it. If you don't know what carbon dating is or how to use our calculator, there's no need to worry! Read on to learn about the definition of carbon dating and the formula for carbon dating calculations. We have also explained in detail how does carbon dating work. You will also find some cool applications of the carbon dating technique and an example of how to use our calculator.
