Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a specified chronology in archaeology and geology. Some scientists prefer the terms chronometric or calendar dating, as use of the word "absolute" implies an unwarranted certainty of accuracy.

Absolute dating is finding the exact date of an artifact such as a fossil using a technique such as radioactive dating, etc.
