Archaeologists have reconstructed methods of time keeping that go back to prehistoric times at least as old as the Neolithic. The natural units for time keeping used by most historical societies are the day and the solar year. Calendars are explicit schemes used for time keeping. The first historically attested calendars date to the Bronze Age, dependent on the development of writing in the ancient Near East.
