==Description==

A '''chronology''' may be either [[relative]]—that is, locating related [[events]] relative to each other—or [[absolute]]—locating these events to specific dates in a chronological [[Epoch|era]]. Even this distinction may be blurred by use of [[different]] calendars. In Judeo-Christian [[cultures]], [[historical]] dates in an absolute chronology are [[understood]] to be referred to the Christian era, in combination with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proleptic_Julian_calendar proleptic Julian calendar] (originally) and the [[Gregorian calendar]] respectively.

Chronology is the [[science]] of locating historical [[events]] in time, and is distinct from, but relies upon [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronometry chronometry] or timekeeping, and historiography, which examines the [[writing]] of [[history]] and the use of historical methods. Radiocarbon dating estimates the age of formerly living things by measuring the proportion of carbon-14 isotope in their carbon [[content]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrochronology Dendrochronology] estimates the age of trees by correlation of the various [[growth]] rings in their wood to known year-by-year [[reference]] sequences in the region to reflect year-to-year climatic variation. Dendrochronology is used in turn as a calibration [[reference]] for radiocarbon dating curves.
