Abstract
The radiocarbon dating technique has been widely used in archaeology, geochronology, palaeo-climatology and palaeo-geography. To determine the date of the real body clay of the Taoist statue at Matou (Horsehead) Mountain, Zhidan County of Shaanixi Province, the AMS 14C method was used to date straw obtained from the statue. The result shows that the most likely date of real body clay of the Taoist statue is from the middle of the 17 century and end of 18 century.
