Absolute Age Determination

§Das Ziel dieses Buches ist es, dem Leser einen vollständigen Überblick über das Spektrum von physikalischen und chemischen Datierungsmethoden zu geben und anhand von Beispielen ihre Anwendungsmöglichkeiten zu demonstrieren. The spectrum of physical and chemical dating methods now covers the entire range of Earth history. But there are so many methods that it is becoming increasingly difficult to select those that are appropriate for solving a specific problem. The objective of this book is to cover the whole spectrum of methods and to give examples of their applications. Thus it is addressed to everybody interested in the application of physical and chemical dating methods to the geosciences and archeology. It is especially valuable as a concise, but comprehensive reference for students and practitioners.
