Optically stimulated luminescence dating using quartz
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 …

Homo erectus at Trinil on Java used shells for tool production and engraving
The manufacture of geometric engravings is generally interpreted as indicative of modern
cognition and behaviour. Key questions in the debate on the origin of such behaviour are …

Identifying well-bleached quartz using the different bleaching rates of quartz and feldspar luminescence signals
When dating older sedimentary deposits using quartz, there are no unambiguous methods
for identifying the presence of incomplete bleaching. Current statistical analysis of dose …

A detailed post‐IR IRSL dating study of the Niuyangzigou loess site in northeastern China
In this study, we report standard quartz SAR OSL and post‐IR infrared (IR) stimulated
luminescence (post‐IR IRSL; pIRIR 290) measurements made on sand‐sized quartz and K …

Bleaching of the post‐IR IRSL signal: new insights for feldspar luminescence dating
Post‐infrared (pIR) stimulated luminescence dating of sedimentary feldspar largely avoids
the effects of anomalous fading that affect conventional infrared stimulated luminescence …

Review of the post-IR IRSL dating protocols of K-feldspar
Compared to quartz, the infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) of K-feldspar saturates at
higher dose, which has great potential for extending the dating limit. However, dating …
