When an organism dies, it stops exchanging carbon with its environment and the amount of 14C in its remains begins to decrease at a known rate. By measuring the amount of 14C in a sample, scientists can determine how long ago the organism died.<\/p>\n<p>Radiocarbon dating is most commonly used to date organic materials such as wood, bone, and plant remains.
