Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signals from quartz can be used to determine when
sedimentary archives were deposited. OSL dating uses the accumulation of energy stored in …

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

The initial colonization of the Americas remains a highly debated topic, and the exact timing
of the first arrivals is unknown. The earliest archaeological record of Mexico—which holds a …

Luminescence dating is used extensively to provide absolute chronologies for Late P
leistocene sediments. Nowadays, most optical dates are based on quartz optically …

The nature of inter-group relations among prehistoric hunter-gatherers remains disputed,
with arguments in favour and against the existence of warfare before the development of …

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 …

Feldspar as a retrospective dosimeter is receiving more and more attention because of its
useful luminescence properties; in particular the dose response curve extends to …

This paper presents an improved method for the optical dating of Holocene sediments from
a variety of geomorphic settings. We have measured the equivalent dose (De) in individual …

The single aliquot regenerative dose (SAR) protocol offers the opportunity of exploring,
relatively simply, the existence of a 'universal'growth curve for use in dating using optically …

Fluvial deposits and landforms are important archives of river response to climate, tectonics
and base level change and are commonly associated with archaeological sites. Unlike …
