During this period, man with his manifold cultures evolved. Attempts at dating these events as accurately as possible have made great progress. The broad spectrum of physical and chemical dating methods, now available for dating human artifacts and Quaternary rocks, is becoming increasingly difficult to grasp. In this book the various chronometric techniques are comprehensively and intelligibly treated. By means of numerous case studies, taken from archaeology and Quaternary geology, the potential and limitation of these techniques are demonstrated. The book is intended mainly for scientists and students of these fields, but the interested layman may also find its rewarding. 410 0$aNatural Science in Archaeology 606 $aGeochemistry 606 $aGeology 606 $aGeography 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aGeochemistry 606 $aGeology 606 $aGeography 606 $aAnthropology 615 0$aGeochemistry. 615 0$aGeology. 615 0$aGeography. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 14$aGeochemistry. 615 24$aGeology. 615 24$aGeography. 615 24$aAnthropology. 676 $a551.9 700 $aWagner$b Günther A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0706730 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960340303321 996 $aAge Determination of Young Rocks and Artifacts$94411823 997 $aUNINA
