Document Summary
Breakdown as follows: 30 minutes, 15 multiple choice, topics 1-6 & cahpters 1-2, 4-7. Tips: know surveying techniques, archaeological data : 2 kinds post moulds and. Two tyoes of dating: relative dating one artifacts or level in its context is older, chronometric (time measured){absolute} age in calendric or younger than another artifact. terms, measured using an interval scale. Types of relative dating: a. seriation signals the birth of scientific archaeology, dating that is badsed on changes in style, stylistic (similarity) seriations and frequency (pattern} seriation. Stylistic is based on the closer in time things are, then the more similar they will be in style. Sites closest in style are closest in time (the assumption) 3 types of chrometric dating: radiometric some items decay radioactively over time material must have once been living, limited date range. The decay of radioactive materials: radiocarbon it applies to organic material only, the.
