Different single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocols have now been applied for some
years to quartz grains for determining the equivalent dose, in both dating and retrospective …

Luminescence dating is unique amongst geochronological methods in dating the deposition
of sediments based upon the properties of the constituent minerals. For Quaternary …

This paper examines the effects of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) components,
other than that usually termed the fast component, on dose determination by the single …

Over the last few years, we have become increasingly confident that quartz is a reliable
natural dosimeter for sediment dating. Nevertheless, there is only a limited understanding of …

Loess in the Carpathian Basin is some of the thickest and most complete in Europe. Located
in the Vojvodina region of the southern Carpathian Basin the Crvenka loess-palaeosol …

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

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 …

The Punung Fauna is a key component in the biostratigraphic sequence of Java. It
represents the most significant faunal turnover on the island in the last 1.5 million years …

Luminescence dating techniques have been applied to a range of different types of coastal
and marine deposits, involving a variety of depositional processes and environments, as a …

A theoretical model of quartz luminescence is presented and used to simulate luminescence
response to environmental dose rates over geological timescales. Simulations of natural …
