Vole Clock

Vole Clock

The Vole clock is a method of dating archaeological strata. Investigations at sites across Europe have allowed construction of a detailed framework of how different vole species evolved over the last million years, and where and when specific species became extinct.

For many sites it is considered the most accurate way of dating, and also provides information on the climate and local environment.
