Age-determining technique (6,6)

I believe the answer is:

carbon dating

(Other definitions for carbon dating that I've seen before include "The use of isotopes to determine age" , "Means of finding age of prehistoric items" , "ageing process" , "scientific technique" , "Method of estimating age" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
