Luminescence from quartz is commonly used in retrospective dosimetry, in particular for the
dating of archaeological materials and sediments from the Quaternary period. The …

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 …

It has previously been observed that laboratory-generated quartz optically stimulated
luminescence (OSL) signals from different samples have similar dose response curves …

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 …

We report here the estimates of alpha efficiency for fine grain quartz extracted from Chinese
loess using the SAR protocol. For the seven samples, the α-values range from 0.028 to …

The temperature dependence, dose response and bleaching characteristics of the thermally
transferred optically stimulated luminescence (TT-OSL) of sedimentary quartz were studied …

Due to the general lack of other high-resolution paleoclimate records, loess-paleosol
sequences are crucial archives for disentangling past climate variability in southeastern …

Currently, absolute dates for the emergence of the Early Upper Paleolithic and the timing of
the earliest dispersal of anatomically modern humans (AMH) into Europe are sparse. This is …

This study utilizes OSL-SAR, TL-SAR, and TL-MAAD methods to date heated quartz
extracted from burnt clay and pottery samples from the Lingjiatan archaeological site, China …

The red TL of quartz has been shown to exhibit a much higher saturation dose than that of
the UV emission in quartz, and thus has the potential to considerably extend the dating …
