Absolute dating: Overview & Dendrochronology

Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a specified chronology in archaeology and geology. Absolute dating provides a numerical age or range, in contrast with relative dating, which places events in order without any measure of the age between events. Some scientists prefer the terms chronometric dating or calendar dating, as the use of…
