1. Introduction
The absolute dating was a discovery for archaeologists in the middle of this century. Until the decade of the 50s, despite the numerous archaeological finds, dating could only be relative, which consist of methods of seriation, language dating, faunal dating, stratigraphy, etc.., Which are still used. Since the revelation of the radiocarbon revolution in 1948, have discovered several ways to measure the passage of time that have changed the history of archeology.
Some of these methods, which are an important aid to individual investigators who are in need of dating a particular event or some object in the past in a more accurate, they are, for example, dendrochronology, radiocarbon dating, the OCR new method, the thermoluminescence, dating by the rate of cations, and so on.
Here are exhibited different absolute dating procedures following its history (when possible), its functioning, its use in the field of archeology and some comments made about each. It has been referred to the division of the methods adopted by Hannibal John Figini and also by Colin Renfrew and Paul Bahn.
