Dating Methods Using Radioactive Isotopes. The age of ancient artifacts which contain carbon can be determined by a method known as radiocarbon dating. This method is sometimes called C-14 or carbon-14 dating. Carbon-14 is formed in the upper atmosphere by the bombardment of nitrogen-14 by cosmic rays.
