ISO 17025-accredited radiocarbon dating laboratory Beta Analytic has varied costs for the analysis of different sample types. For example, our quoted price for carbon dating bones is different from costs for dating charcoal due to pretreatments applied.
Carbon dating prices also vary depending on the service requested or turnaround time.

Beta does not analyze antiques, books, manuscripts or materials of a religious nature or items which are commonly sold in the antiquities markets, or materials for personal research (e.g. wood from an ancestral house, metals/coins, bones from a random dig, etc.).
