Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signals from quartz can be used to determine when
sedimentary archives were deposited. OSL dating uses the accumulation of energy stored in …

Optical dating of sediment using optically stimulated luminescence has become important
for studying Earth surface processes, and this technique continues to develop rapidly. A …

Determining the extent of overlap between modern humans and other hominins in Eurasia,
such as Neanderthals and Denisovans, is fundamental to understanding the nature of their …

Accurate calculation of the environmental radiation dose rate (Ḋ) is an essential part of
trapped charge dating methods, such as luminescence and electron spin resonance dating …

INTRODUCTION A record of the regular exploitation of aquatic foods has been lacking in
Neandertal Europe. By contrast, marine resources feature prominently—alongside personal …

Optical dating measures the time that has elapsed since mineral grains were exposed to
daylight. The technique is ideal for sediments in which all the grains were exposed to …

A number of recent optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) studies have cited post-
depositional mixing as a dominant source of equivalent dose (De) scatter across a range of …

It is possible to increase the accuracy of the optical dating of some Quaternary deposits by
deriving age estimates from individual quartz grains. Age estimates from individual grains …

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 …

Paleoanthropologists and archeologists interested in occupation histories, faunal remains,
and objects of material culture have become increasingly reliant on optically stimulated …
