Geology and archeology are examples of historical sciences. Their practitioners rely on multiple methods for establishing dates and temporal sequences as they seek to construct a history from the available evidence. This project will show you how you can use the method of lichenometry as a method for dating relatively recent events in your area, such as the building of a stone wall, or the occurrence of a rock slide.
