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 …

years ago (ka) and in island southeast Asia (ISEA) before 60 ka (93–61 ka) predates …

H omo erectus is the founding early hominin species of Island Southeast Asia, and reached
Java (Indonesia) more than 1.5 million years ago,. Twelve H. erectus calvaria (skull caps) …

Luminescence dating is a tool frequently used for age determination of Quaternary materials
such as archaeological artefacts, volcanic deposits and a variety of sediments from different …

The luminescence properties of common minerals, such as quartz and potassium‐rich
feldspars, allow them to be used to measure depositional ages for late Quaternary …

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 …

The emergence of alternative luminescence dating techniques, such as thermally
transferred optically stimulated luminescence (TT-OSL), post-infrared infrared stimulated …

Establishing a reliable chronology on the extensive hominin remains at Sima de los Huesos
is critical for an improved understanding of the complex evolutionary histories and …

Loess deposits preserve important records of Quaternary climate change and atmospheric
dust flux; however, their full significance can only be revealed once a reliable chronology is …

In this study we present optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating results obtained at
one of the most important open‐air M iddle P alaeolithic sites in the S ierra de A tapuerca …
