There are several synonyms for radiocarbon dating, including carbon dating, carbon-14 dating, and carbon-14 analysis. The term radiometric dating is also sometimes used to describe this process, which involves measuring the amount of radiocarbon in a sample and comparing it to the known rate of decay of carbon-14 in the atmosphere.
