How accurate is CARBON DATING?

Carbon dating is determined by how long carbon has been in a decaying body or the remains. I believe it is pretty accurate.

I’m not an expert on carbon dating, but one issue that confuses the accuracy is calibration. Always good to note whether C14 dates are calibrated. It’s simple enough to rectify if they are not, but it can cause a great deal of confusion and apparent inaccuracy if you fail to take it into account.
