Chronology The science of arranging events and phenomena in time. It is also used of the actual order itself and of its representation. Chronology is an indispensable tool for [[Archaeology|archaeology]] and for [[History|history]], but it presupposes [[Dating|dating]]. In a chronology, the archaeological material is divided into chronological classes called periods. The names of the periods given below have been, and still are, used in the archaeology and history of northern and eastern [[Fennoscandia|Fennoscandia]]. The chronological limits of the periods are based on radiocarbon datings calibrated to calendar years. Frequently the characteristics of the periods appear at different times in different parts of northern and eastern Fennoscandia. The dates divided by slashes indicate the limits of the total fluctuation. There is also a certain amount of overlap in the dates of the periods. This encyclopaedia has adopted this procedure because the datings are to some extent inexact and the definitions partly uncertain.
