what innovation helps archaeologists determine the age of objects? oral traditions written records aerial photography carbon dating
Carbon dating is a scientific method used to determine the age of organic materials. It is based on the principle that carbon - 14, a radioactive isotope of carbon, decays at a known rate. Archaeologists use this method to date objects such as bones, wood, and cloth. Oral traditions and written records are not scientific methods of dating objects. Aerial photography is used to map archaeological sites, not to date objects.
