For over 70 years the introduction of natural sciences to archaeology and cultural heritage
has been ever growing with multiple contributions to deciphering the past. Novel techniques …

The quest for new materials for thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated
luminescence (OSL) dosimetry continues to be a central line of research in luminescence …

Luminescence dating is used extensively to provide absolute chronologies for Late P
leistocene sediments. Nowadays, most optical dates are based on quartz optically …

A protocol for optical dating of potassium-rich feldspar (K-feldspar) is proposed. It utilizes the
infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) signal measured by progressively increasing the …

Abstract In 1982, when Richard Klein first became one of the Editors of this journal, the
luminescence dating community was embarking on a new phase of exploratory research …

Quartz has been the main mineral used for optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating
of sediments over the last decade. The quartz OSL signal, however, has been shown to …

In this study, we report standard quartz SAR OSL and post‐IR infrared (IR) stimulated
luminescence (post‐IR IRSL; pIRIR 290) measurements made on sand‐sized quartz and K …

Luminescence holds unique potential as a sediment tracer and provenance method. The
tracer application of luminescence has key advantages including ease of measurement …

Post‐infrared (pIR) stimulated luminescence dating of sedimentary feldspar largely avoids
the effects of anomalous fading that affect conventional infrared stimulated luminescence …

We present a new kinetic model describing localized electronic recombination through the
excited state of the donor (d) to an acceptor (a) centre in luminescent materials. In contrast to …
