The Renaissance time period came after the Dark Ages.
-----
It seems most people who use the term Dark Ages are talking about the Early Middle Ages, which is a period from about 450 AD to 1000 AD. They call the following period the Middle Ages.
Some people would have the Dark Ages coincide with the Age of Migration, from about 300 to 700, and this would mean it was followed by the second half of the Early Middle Ages, which began with a time called the Carolingian Renaissance.
Other people would have the Dark Ages be equal to the entire Middle Ages, so it would be followed by the European Renaissance.
I think most historians do not use the term Dark Ages.

ProfessorSince the Dark Ages are popularly supposed to begin c. 510 AD, if the historical events occurring before that time (possibly erroneous, of necessity subjectively interpreted reporting - much as today) would be BCE: i.e., all the civilizations before and including the Roman: eg., the Caesars.
I would like to encompass the late Neolithic period, up to and including the Iron Age in a definition of that time.

Who called the Middle Ages the dark ages?
The Dark Ages do not make up the entire period that historians consider to be the Middle Ages. The term â??Dark Agesâ?? was first used in the Renaissance Period to acknowledge a newer and more modern form of literature, knowledge, and philosophy. Before this time, little records survive to support any true intellectual movements or stimulation. After the fall of Rome, much of the culture was that of the Church allowing minimal room for intellectual growth. No one individual person has been given credit for the term.The beginning of the Dark Ages marks the ending of the era where Rome ruled most of Europe and Asia. Its nicknamed the Dark Ages because after the fall of the Roman empire, the rest of Europe left the big cities and went back to living in villages and Farms. Thus began the Medieval era.

What do you call the period of the European history between ancient and modern eras?
If you assume that the Ancient Era ended with the sacking of Rome and the Modern Era began with the Rennaissance, then the period in between was the Medieval or "Dark" Ages. Dark because of the lack of written records from that period due to the low levels of literacy.
