All objects that currently exist were created in the past.
Archaeologists determine the age of an object through methods like radiocarbon dating, dendrochronology (tree-ring dating), thermoluminescence dating, and stratigraphy. These techniques can provide valuable information about the time period in which the object was created or used, helping archaeologists establish the object's age within a specific timeframe.
For dating when objects that were alive at some time in the past lived.
Two major dating methods applied to artifacts and fossils are stratagraphic dating (based upon the particular layer of rock of sediment in which the object is found) or radiometric dating (which is based on the decay rates of certain radioactive isotopes). The type of radiometric dating used depends greatly on the approximate time period you are studying and so varies depending on if the material you are studying is an artifact or a fossil. The method most commonly used in archaeology is carbon dating.
Methods used to find out about the past include historical research using primary sources such as documents and artifacts, archaeology to study physical remains, carbon dating for dating organic materials, and oral history by interviewing people who have knowledge of past events.
Archaeologists learn about the past through excavations of sites, analysis of artifacts, and studying historical documents or written records. By combining physical evidence with context clues, they can piece together a picture of past societies, cultures, and events. Advanced technologies, such as carbon dating and remote sensing, also help in revealing more details about ancient civilizations.
A mummy
Let's say I buy a fancy sword. It is brand new. Experts can tell it is a recent version, and was manufactured. Let's say you found a sword. You can tell it is old. Experts say it "dates back to the past" based on the metals used and it was flattened by a blacksmith. But they can't give an exact time "in the past". But they know the object dates back to the past.
An object made by human hands dating back to ancient times is called an 'artifact.'

Finding the age of an object by determining the number of years the object has existed is the purpose Absolute dating.
Radioactive dating refers to the process of measuring the age of an object using the amount of a given radioactive material it contains. Relative dating, meanwhile, measures the order of past events, without determining their absolute age.

They are not currently dating, but they have dated in the past.
cultural dating is how people from the past dated cultural
