- (7) Carbon-14 dating is used in archeology to determine the age of items that were alive or were made from living materials. This works because the proportion of radioactive Carbon-14 to the other isotopes of Carbon is relatively constant in the atmo- sphere. (Volcanos constantly refresh the C-14 content.)
