What are the differences between relative and absolute dating methods, and why is dating important for archaeology? Archaeology is a historical science aimed at the discovery and understanding of past human behaviour 1 through the study of material remains . An essential aspect of archaeology after the discovery of artefacts is to not only evaluate their purpose, but to also establish what time period it originated from. There are two broad approaches to dating artefacts: absolute dating and relative dating methods ...

HIS6E01-PRINCIPLES AND METHODS OF ARCHAEOLOGY MODULE-4 ABSOLUTEANDRELATIVEDATING Prepared by Priyanka.E.K Dept of History Little Flower College Guruvayoor Archaeological scientists have two primary ways of telling the age of artefacts and the sites from which they came: relative dating and absolute dating. Types of Dating There are mainly two types of dating; i) relative and ii) absolute or chronometric dating. Relative dating fixes a time frame in relation to other strata or material and not in absolute dates in ...

School of Distance Education MODULE IV: EXCAVATION AND DATING TECHNIQUES This chapter explores the major methods of excavation and the method of dating. Excavation is a destructive, but most systematic and scientific, documentation of archaeological sites. It is a time consuming and expensive field activity. It requires a group of field archaeology experts include the director, co-directors, trench supervisors, trench assistance, and trained labours. Sampling experts from different disciplines like Geology, Pedology (the study of soil), Petrology (the study of ...
