Radiometric dating gives an absolute age, as does Dendrochronology, the dating by tree rings. (Which may be accurate to a single year!).
Strata (or stratigraphic) dating is another method, primarily relative dating, but Fossil dating may give an age range for a specimen.
Thermoluminescence is a method requiring much care, but may date to the last time the object was in the sunlight.
And the relative dating by such tools such O16:O18; or by magnetic reversals also offer data for some specimens.
