- Abstract:
- One of the fundamental hypotheses the radiocarbon dating technique is based on is the fact that the sample to be dated has to be considered as a close system. However, when we would like to date a finding that has been restored, that hypotesis might be called into question. Any carbon-based material used for restoration has to be completely removed from the sample before the radiocarbon measurement, in order not to alter the results.
