Tools are found in Graves and in known cave dwellers caves, so tools found outside of those situations can be cross referenced. In cases of multiple use caves there is little overlap so where they are in the layers is indicative of the time made. And finally in a mixed use cave they are using context clues and best guess scenario. Overall it is inexact and bound to be wrong on some.
