Artifacts can be dated using various methods such as radiocarbon dating, dendrochronology (tree-ring dating), thermoluminescence dating, and stratigraphy. These methods analyze the materials the artifact is made of or the context in which it was found to determine its age. Consulting experts in archaeological dating techniques can provide a more accurate estimate of an artifact's age.

How can you tell if old tiles contain asbestos?
The only way to definitively determine if old tiles contain asbestos is to have them tested by a certified asbestos inspector. Asbestos was commonly used in tiles before the 1980s, so if your tiles were installed before then, there is a higher likelihood of them containing asbestos. However, visual inspection alone is not enough to confirm the presence of asbestos.
