All Quaternary dating methods involve the measurement of one or more variables to
estimate the age of a sample. Each measured quantity has an associated error and …

The infinite matrix assumption is commonly used to derive dose rates in the field of
paleodosimetric dating methods. The update of nuclear data allowed calculating new dose …

The conceptual ability to source, combine, and store substances that enhance technology or

The archaeological record of Africa provides the earliest evidence for the emergence of the
complex symbolic and technological behaviours that characterize Homo sapiens,,,,,–. The …

Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating allows age determination of sediments
deposited during the last glacial‐interglacial cycle. This relatively new technique therefore …

All Australian land mammals, reptiles, and birds weighing more than 100 kilograms, and six

A number of recent optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) studies have cited post-
depositional mixing as a dominant source of equivalent dose (De) scatter across a range of …

Modern Homo sapiens engage in substantial ecosystem modification, but it is difficult to
detect the origins or early consequences of these behaviors. Archaeological …
