Architecture as Source of Chronological Information

Résumé

Architecture is commonly considered an unreliable chronological marker when compared to other archaeological material 2. In view of the obvious stratigraphic significance of architectural remains such a general refutation seems uncritical, and in view of their relative abundance it may mean that a potentially rich source of chronological information remains untapped. The objective of this paper is to discuss the undeniable restrictions in the use of architecture as a chronological marker and to present various examples where architectural data do provide reliable chronological information. This material might, after further examination, serve as a sound basis of a systematic search for criteria of chronological significance in the treatment of architectural remains.
