    Super useful descriptions of various methods archaeologists use to calculate and estimate the age of finds.

    It's a very informative video. For the archaeologist, dating from archaeology is more significant. When using absolute dating techniques, which yield more accurate dating results, archaeologists describe artifacts using relative dating techniques. For instance, luminosity dating, dendrochronology, and potassium argon dating techniques. Stratigraphy is the study of the various soil strata. These dirt layers will be gradually dug up by an archaeologist in search of antiquities.
