Document Summary
Two types of dates: relative dates: date in comparison to another object or thing, comparing to things to compare which was made earlier or later, no numerical value required, absolute dates: a fixed numerical date. You can get absolute dates through carbon dating etc. that allows you to pinpoint when something was made. Dating in the bronze age is very uncertain. Begins around 3300 bce: this is a very approximate date. Before bronze age, we have the stone ages: the one immediately before the bronze age is the neolithic. Ends around 1100 bce but the collapse of palace economies occur in 1200. Made up of 3 phases: early bronze age, middle bronze age, late bronze age. Three areas of greece: crete, early, middle, late minoan, mainland, early, middle, late helladic, the cyclades, early, middle, late cycladic. Relative: the two pictures of fruit, you know one is older than the other due to mold but you don"t know the dates.
