Radiocarbon Dating Solutions
Accelerator mass spectrometry detects carbon 14 in samples. AMS dating involves accelerating the ions to extraordinarily high kinetic energies followed by mass analysis. Samples are converted to graphite prior to AMS carbon dating. Although more expensive than radiometric dating, AMS dating has higher precision and needs small sample sizes. Aside from archaeology and geology, AMS […]
