Carbon-14, 14C, or radiocarbon, is aradioactive isotope of carbon with an atomic nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Its presence in organic materials is the basis of the radiocarbon datingmethod pioneered by Willard Libby and colleagues (1949) to datearchaeological, geological and hydrogeological samples.
