Relative Dating Techniques- is used to determine the relative ages of geologic strata, artifacts and historical events. Some types of relative dating techniques include climate chronology, dendrochronology, ice core sampling, stratigraphy, and seriation.

Absolute Dating Techniques-the process of determining an almost accurate age using geology and archaeology. ITs like calendar dating.\ Palaeontology-is the study of prehistoric time (remember pic from wikipedia), example:dinosaurs, early life, and evolution of birds and mammals Anthropology-the study of humanity. fact: the word anthropology comes from the greek and was used in 1501 Stone Age- **development of early human culture between the first appearance of man as a tool-using mammal fact: they believe this period happened 600 000 years ago** **﻿**                    Agricultural Revolution (pre-history)-the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture and settlement example:various forms of domestic plants and animals **﻿**
