Answer:

Radiogenic isotopes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dating is a process by which archaeologists get to know the absolute or relative age of a past objects. Absolute dating deals with the process of determining the absolute age of the element. During dating of objects, or during the radiometric dating if we know the half-life of the element, it will be easy to know the age of that object by determining the decay rate of the isotopes.
