Luminescence dating is part of a suite of trapped charge dating techniques used in Quaternary research. It is a geochronological technique which provides absolute dating for geological events and archeological artifacts from the late Quaternary and, with a dateable age range between a few years and a few hundred thousand years, has become a broadly ...

Luminescence Dating Relevant to Human Origins
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1992Abstract Luminescence dating provided the first direct and independent evidence that anatomically modern humans had a presence in western Asia earlier than is consistent with the ‘regional continuity’ model. The reliability of the result concerned, 92 ( ± 5) ka for burnt flints from Qafzeh Cave, is excellent and consistent with ...

Luminescence Dating Protocols and Dating Range
2013Half a century after the publication of the first Thermoluminescence (TL) ages, the field of Luminescence Dating has reached a level of maturity. Both research and applications from all fields of archaeological science, from archaeological materials to anthropology and geoarchaeology, now routinely employ luminescence dating.

Luminescence Dating, Uncertainties and Age Range
2014Luminescence ages have an uncertainty of at least 4–5 %, mainly due to systematic errors in both dose rate (conversion factors) and equivalent dose (source calibration) estimation. In most cases, the uncertainty will be higher, due to random errors (e.g., spread in equivalent doses) or uncertainty in assumptions (e.g., water content fluctuations ...

Dating the Quaternary: progress in luminescence dating of sediments
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2006Abstract Luminescence dating comprises a collection of numerical-age techniques that are among the most significant chronological tools currently used in Quaternary research. This paper briefly reviews the key historical developments in luminescence dating, from its roots in thermoluminescence dating of heated minerals to the development of optical ...

A portable luminescence dating instrument
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 2011Abstract We describe a portable luminescence reader suitable for use in remote localities in the field. The instrument weighs about 8 kg and is based around a 30 mm bialkali photomultiplier detecting signals through a glass filter centered on 340 nm. Stimulation is by 470 nm blue LEDs (24 W in total) operating in both continuous wave and pulsed mode;

Facets of Luminescence for Dating
Spectroscopy Letters, 2012The aim of this article is to introduce luminescence dating and relate it to luminescence and Raman spectroscopy of minerals. The physical bases of luminescence signals used in dating and their relationships to other radiation-induced luminescence and Raman signals are briefly reviewed.

Luminescence Dating of Brick Chimneys
Vernacular Architecture, 2004Abstract Luminescence dating is an archaeological dating technique applicable to fired clay materials, based on the emission of light from crystalline mineral inclusions such as quartz. It was pioneered for the dating of pottery in the 1970s. Current research at the University of Durham into dating brick from standing buildings raises the possibility ...

Use of luminescence dating in archaeology
Measurement Science and Technology, 2003With improvements in methodology and instrumentation, luminescence dating is becoming a much more useful chronometric tool in archaeology. Procedures for dating ceramics are relatively routine and their accuracy has been demonstrated in a number of studies.
