Is carbon dating entirely accurate? What are some assumptions that it makes?
I was wondering if you could tell me if carbon dating is entirely accurate or not?
Carbon dating is generally viewed as a reliable method of dating archaeological material, but it is not entirely accurate. The method is based on the assumption that the amount of carbon-14 in the atmosphere has remained relatively constant over time. However, this assumption may not always be true, especially when dealing with older material.
