Age does not always tell us the exact age of something. There are different methods used to determine the age of an object or material, and each has its limitations and uncertainties. For example, radioactive dating techniques can provide fairly accurate age estimates for certain materials, but they still have margins of error. Other methods such as dendrochronology (tree-ring dating) and varve analysis (examining annual sediment layers in lakes) can provide precise chronological information, but they are only applicable to certain types of materials and locations. Ultimately, determining the exact age of something often involves a combination of several different dating techniques and careful analysis of the available evidence.
