Relative dating doesn’t give one an exact date but can give a good time frame of an artifact. It is used by looking at sequences and layers with regards to the soil for excavating.

"What’s it like being a twin?" This is a question I’ve been asked countless times; I don’t blame people for their curiosity. It is an incomparable experience.

Such a close relationship resulted in our mutual dependence. Growing up‚ we were always‚ “the twins”‚ sometimes even referred to as “Carlana.” We were
