How Old Is It? The Story of Dating in Archeaology

"How Old Is It? The Story of Dating in Archaeology" by James Schoenwetter is a mid-20th century book that uncovers the science behind figuring out the age of old things found by archaeologists. It’s like a detective story, but instead of solving crimes, it solves mysteries of time using things like tree rings and layers in the ground. The book makes these complicated ideas easy to understand, showing how scientists use natural “clocks” to piece together timelines of the past. It shows how different dating techniques can work together to give us a clearer picture of history, making it a great read for anyone who's curious about archaeology, geology, or just likes solving puzzles.
