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 …

Over the past decades, physicochemical-based analyses have been widely utilized to study
many aspects of rock art, including the composition, morphology, topology, optical and …

Rock art is a widespread cultural heritage, representing an immovable element of the
material culture created on natural rocky supports. Paintings and petroglyphs can be found …

In this study, we use optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) to establish a robust absolute
chronology for the lower part of the stratigraphic record at “Les Roches d'Abilly”, an …

Dating the construction of dry-stone walls is challenging since such structures are typically
built without any mortar that can be used for dating. Rock surface luminescence dating is a …

Abstract Ongoing work in Daraki-Chattan cave, India, has revealed important Paleolithic
rock art (petroglyphs) in the form of cupules. The site is rich in stone tools of Acheulian …

The optical stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating is a steadily developed method in the
fields of archaeology, geoarchaeology and earth sciences. The trapped electrons in lattice …

In western Greece is the Pindos Foreland Basin, a geological depression that contains
approximately 2500 m of mainly Upper Eocene to Lower Oligocene submarine fans …

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) depth profiling utilizes an OSL-at-depth signal to
extrapolate an exposure age from rock surfaces. Exposure ages are commonly obtained by …

The most extensive corpus of ancient immovable cultural heritage is that of global rock art.
Estimating its age has traditionally been challenging, rendering it difficult to integrate …
