  age-depth modelling:
    text: age-depth modelling
    description: Age-depth models are constructed based on limited numbers of dated
      depths (typically in sediment cores) to estimate the calendar ages. Different
      models are used based on assumptions about the sequence of deposit formation
      at each dated depth.
  contextual dating:
    text: contextual dating
    description: A non-absolute date inferred from the specific context of an archaeological
      or palaeontological sample (e.g. stratigraphic layers, coins).
  associated absolute dating:
    text: associated absolute dating
    description: Dates inferred from the absolute dates of associated materials within
      the same specific context of the sample (e.g. C14 dating of a animal bone artefact
      in the same context of a human burial).
