Absolute dating techniques include radiocarbon dating of wood or bones, potassium-argon dating, and trapped-charge dating methods such as thermoluminescence dating of glazed ceramics.

How can I find my absolute age?

The formula for calculating absolute age of a layer by this method of counting is: Absolute age in years (A) = time elapsed since the formation of the most recent layer (R) plus (the number of layers (N) lying above the layer in question multiplied by the duration (D) of the depositional cycle).
