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 …

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 …

We present a new time‐slice reconstruction of the Eurasian ice sheets (British–Irish,
Svalbard–Barents–Kara Seas and Scandinavian) documenting the spatial evolution of these …

A late Middle Pleistocene mandible from Baishiya Karst Cave (BKC) on the Tibetan Plateau
has been inferred to be from a Denisovan, an Asian hominin related to Neanderthals, on the …

New ages for flowstone, sediments and fossil bones from the Dinaledi Chamber are
presented. We combined optically stimulated luminescence dating of sediments with U-Th …

Human footprints at White Sands National Park, New Mexico, USA, reportedly date to
between~ 23,000 and 21,000 years ago according to radiocarbon dating of seeds from the …

Dating the timing of the replacement of local Neandertal populations by modern humans in
western Eurasia at the dawn of the Upper Palaeolithic remains challenging due to the …

The BRITICE‐CHRONO consortium of researchers undertook a dating programme to
constrain the timing of advance, maximum extent and retreat of the British–Irish Ice Sheet …

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

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 …
