* pharaonic; old kingdom (2686-2181 bc), first intermediate period (2181-2055 bc), middle. Kingdom (2055-1650 bc), second intermediate period (1650-1550 bc), new kingdom (1550- 1069), third intermediate period (1069-664 bc), late period (664-332 bc) * 1) relative chronology: methods that measure differences in age utilising an ordinal (the order of something) scale. Principal relative dating techniques include stratigraphy and seriation. * differences in age measured using ordinal scale the relative order of something (before or after). (e. g new kingdom) * 2) absolute chronology: methods that allow ages to be reported in years either as years before present (bp) or as calendar years (ad/bc/bp). Principle absolute techniques include radiocarbon dating (eg. 635 bc). reports ages in years using bc/ad/bp a date; e. g. , 653 bc. * seriation: organising artefacts into chronological order according to their relative popularity . * stratigraphy: the relationship of one depositional event to another lower layers deposited first. Petrie"s sequence dates. (older) and upper layers deposited sequentially after (newer).
