There are other methods known as absolute dating method, say something more concusivley time period. Relatively low tech, calendars, decipher those texts know time periods, Dendeochro, tree ring dating of preserved wood, chronologies based on overlapping ring sequence, limitations cannot be used in tropical regions, confined certain species, Match sequence of say house know when it was used, not tropical only certain regions the us sw, need for dating work trees go through patterns grow once a year, trees preserved display patterns. Count rings in overall profile, compare patterns to another earlier, look for overlap.
