Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendrochronology is the use of tree rings to assign chronometric dates. Palynology is the study of pollen grains, potassium-argon is a dating technique using radioactive isotope decay, stratigraphy is studying rock layers and their relationships, and matrix analysis is the study of the material that surrounds artifacts in an archaeological site. None of these methods involve tree rings.
