Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) was first observed from natural quartz 30 years
ago. Since it increases with exposure to radiation, OSL has been developed as a dating tool …

During the last twenty years, several technical developments have considerably intensified
the use of numerical dating methods for the Quaternary. The study of fluvial archives has …

Marked by a progressive increase in the amplitude of climate oscillations, an evolving
waveform, and a shift towards a quasi-100 ky frequency, the Early–Middle Pleistocene …

The development and application of luminescence dating and dosimetry techniques have
grown exponentially in the last several decades. Luminescence methods provide age …

At least six different Homo species populated the World during the latest Pliocene to the
Pleistocene. The extinction of all but one of them is currently shrouded in mystery, and no …

Abstract We describe a European Acheulean site characterised by an extensive
accumulation of large cutting tools (LCT). This type of Lower Paleolithic assemblage, with …

Zooarcheological research is an important tool in reconstructing subsistence, as well as for
inferring relevant aspects regarding social behavior in the past. The organization of hunting …

Recent chronological studies of the Sima de los Huesos (SH) hominin fossil site, Atapuerca,
Spain, have established a close minimum age of at least 430 ka for sedimentary material …

Electron spin resonance (ESR) dating of optically bleached quartz grains was performed on
three sediment samples collected from the Middle Palaeolithic site of Cuesta de la Bajada …

Ages based on independent methods, such as combined ESR-U series, luminescence, and
magnetostratigraphic analyses have been obtained for the upper stratigraphical section of …
