Relative dating.
Principles like stratigraphy and the law of superposition (Nicolas Steno, 1669) and faunal succession (William Smith, early 1800s) predate the discovery of radioactivity (Becquerel, 1896) and the development of radiometric/absolute (numerical) dating methods in the early 20th century.
