Abstract

The history of radiocarbon dating is defined by several major milestones – its own discovery, the forced revision of basic principles, the discovery of accelerator mass spectrometry and anthropogenic influences. The current capabilities of the method are demonstrated through two forensic applications in the field of crime against humans and endangered species.
