Seeking enlightenment of fluvial sediment pathways by optically stimulated luminescence signal bleaching of river sediments and deltaic deposits [PDF]
Reconstructing sediment pathways in fluvial and deltaic systems beyond instrumental records is challenging due to a lack of suitable methods. Here we explore the potential of luminescence methods for such purposes, focusing on bleaching of the optically ...

Optically stimulated luminescence of meteorite [PDF]
Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) measurements were performed on several meteorites and terrestrial plagioclase, pyroxene and olivine to test the possibility of OSL characterization of meteorites. Intense OSL has been observed for the first time in

The chronostratigraphy of Late Pleistocene glacial and periglacial aeolian activity in the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands, NWT, Canada [PDF]
Aeolian periglacial sand deposits are common in the Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands of Western Arctic Canada. Regionally extensive and thick aeolian sand-sheet deposits have been observed in two major stratigraphic settings: within a sand unit characterized by ...

Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

Thermally Transferred Optically Stimulated Luminescence, TT-OSL: a study on the responsible traps
Abstract Aim of this paper is to better investigate the Thermally Transferred Optically Stimulated Luminescence (TT-OSL) signal generated in quartz samples, both mineral quartz and quartz extracted from sediment, when they are heated after an optical bleaching. In recent years, TT-OSL has become an interesting dating technique because it

Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.
