Besides Carbon Dating, what are the other techniques to determine the age of objects ? Organic or inorganic?

There are a huge number of dating techniques. To list some of them:

*Dendrochronology

*Sclerochronology

*Varve-chronology

*Radiocarbon/Uranium Series/Etc. (many, many dating techniques in this group)

*Cosmogenic Isotopes

*Fission Track Dating

*Thermo-luminescence and Optically Stimulated Luminescence and Infrared Simulated Luminescence

*Amino-Acid Racemization

*Obsidian Hydration and Tephra Hydration

*Rock-varnish cation ratio and development

*Lichenometry

*Soil chemistry chronology and soil profile development

*Rock and mineral weathering

*Scarp Morphology

*Depositional and deformational layering (seasonal layers in ice sheets, for example)

*Geomorphic position

*Calcium Carbonate dating

*Stratigraphy

*Paleomagnetism

*Tephrachronology

*Paleontology (huge field)

*Stable Isotopes dating (whole ton here)

*Tectites and microtectites

*And of course human historical records

Radiocarbon gets a lot of press, but it is very far from being the most reliable dating method, and it is not used nearly as often as most laymen will tend to think it is.
