This introductory textbook introduces the basics of dating, the range of techniques available and the strengths and limitations of each of the principal methods. Coverage includes: the concept of time in Quaternary Science and related fields the history of dating from lithostratigraphy and biostratigraphy the development and application of radiometric methods different methods in dating: radiometric dating, incremental dating, relative dating and age equivalence Presented in a clear and straightforward manner with the minimum of technical detail, this text is a great introduction for both students and practitioners in the Earth, Environmental and Archaeological Sciences. Praise from the reviews: "This book is a must for any Quaternary scientist." SOUTH AFRICAN GEOGRAPHICAL JOURNAL, September 2006 “...very well organized, clearly and straightforwardly written and provides a good overview on the wide field of Quaternary dating methods...” JOURNAL OF QUATERNARY SCIENCE, January 2007
A synthesis of all that has been postulated and is known about the age of the Earth
Reviews the evidence underpinning the Anthropocene as a geological epoch written by the Anthropocene Working Group investigating it. The book discusses ongoing changes to the Earth system within the context of deep geological time, allowing a comparison between the global transition taking place today with major transitions in Earth history.
Reviews relative dating methods used during the first half of the 20th century to determine the relative ages of archaeological phenomena. O'Brien and Lyman (U. of Missouri-Columbia) distinguish the several stratigraphic excavation techniques and argue that they tend to result in discontinuous measures of time; discuss typological cross dating and why it measures time discontinuously; and describe the three techniques of seriation, noting that two of these techniques measure time, and thus cultural change, as a continuum.
