Spanish term or phrase: cronologibles
Socorro, ésta es la primera vez que me cruzo con esta expresión.

"La medida del tiempo afecta tanto a los contextos físicos como a los culturales. Los primeros contextos son fácilmente cronologibles mientras que los segundos no."
"La interpretación de las culturas prehistóricas es una de las actividades intelectuales más difíciles de llevar a cabo por el solo hecho de que no ha quedado registro escrito alguno."

¿Cronologibles o cronologables?

Yes, chronologized implies a certain logical order in a whole, whilst "datable" is fixing a date to something.
Thanks DLyons.

agree  Charles Davis: Easily chronologized or easy to chronologize. NOT chronicled! Yes, since the verb is "cronologar" it should logically he "cronologables"
