Cambridge University Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory

The Cambridge University Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory specializes in measuring the age of ancient organic materials, such as fossils, artifacts, and archaeological finds, using radiocarbon dating techniques. This process determines how long it has been since the organism died by measuring the remaining carbon-14 isotopes. The laboratory employs advanced instruments and methods to provide precise age estimates, helping researchers understand past environments, human history, and archaeological timelines. As part of Cambridge University, it is a leading center for scientific dating, supporting diverse fields like archaeology, geology, and environmental science.
