MC9902C02 Lecture Notes - Relative Dating, Primary Standard, Unearth
Document Summary
Archeologists have two primary ways of telling the time of locales and relics. Relative dating tells how old something is comparable to different items, yet can"t give a year or explicit date of purpose. Conversely, outright dating gives a particular schedule year to the control of a site. Relative dating thinks about how old antiquities and destinations are, in contrast with different ancient rarities and locales. Stratigraphy and style are both utilized for relative dating. Albeit relative dating can perceive us what is more established or more youthful, it doesn"t tell us precisely the way that old something is. For the majority years archeologists had no chance of deciding the genuine period of destinations, and had no decent thought of the time profundity included. The primary standard behind stratigraphy is that of superposition. This expresses that more established things are tracked down underneath more youthful things.
