The accepted state-of-the-art 14 C dating method relies on calibration curves to determine initial 14 C levels in a sample. The paper reconsiders the basis of 14 C dating and offers a possible alternative that eliminates the need to employ calibration curves. The idea is to measure the level of radiogenic nitrogen atoms retained in the sample molecules after 14 C β-decay. The practicality of this alternative method still has to be proven
