Increasing evidence suggests that bifacial technology (Acheulian, Mode 2) arrived in Europe
during the early Middle Pleistocene, ie significantly earlier than previously proposed. In …

In this paper, we present the results of research on the thermoluminescence (TL) and optical

southern Italy, found in fluvio-lacustrine contexts and rich both in archaeological and …

Quartz is one of the minerals useful for ESR dating with many applications. Although the
study has quite a long history since 1980's, ESR dating of quartz is still in a develo** …

Electron spin resonance (ESR) dating of sediments using quartz is most commonly used for
older sediments (> 100 ka), since large residuals render the ESR signal unsuitable for …

The true random uncertainty associated with ESR measurements of quartz grains at
cryogenic temperature is currently unknown, as well as its impact on resulting equivalent …
