“…The simulations in this paper are carried out using the comprehensive quartz model developed by Pagonis et al (2008a). This model is based on a previous model by Bailey (2001) that was developed on the basis of empirical data.…”

“…1 shows the energy level diagram in the model used in this paper. The computer code, the set of differential equations and the choice of parameters were presented recently by Pagonis et al (2008a), and will not be repeated here. For easy reference a brief description of the various energy levels and their relevance in the various luminescence dating techniques is presented in this section.…”

“…This model was expanded by Pagonis et al (2008a) to include two additional levels 10 and 11, as described below. Level 1 in the model represents a shallow electron trapping level, which gives rise to a TL peak at w110 C with a heating rate of 5 K/s.…”

“…Levels 10 and 11 are the two new levels added to the original Bailey model by Pagonis et al (2008a), and were introduced in order to simulate the experimentally observed thermally transferred OSL (TT-OSL) signals and basic transferred OSL (BT-OSL) signals. Level 10 in the model represents the source trap for the TT-OSL signal and is a slightly less thermally stable trap with high dose saturation.…”

“…The intrinsic accuracy and precision are estimated by simulating random variations of the concentrations of electrons and holes in natural quartz samples. The simulations are carried out using a recently published comprehensive model for quartz (Pagonis et al, 2008a), and by generating one hundred random variants of the concentrations of electron and hole traps in the model. The intrinsic accuracy of these techniques is estimated by simulating natural irradiation of the samples with a known burial dose, followed by simulation of the luminescence method used to recover the estimated dose ED.…”

In this paper, we employed optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of sediments from two archaeological sites located in Navarino, Messenia, southwestern Greece, to deduce a chronology for the archaeological sites. Archaeological surveys identified two Paleolithic sites on fossilized coastal dunes. Chipped stone tool assemblages were identified eroding out of paleosols developed in the dunes. The assemblage from one site lacked distinct typological features and hence it was difficult to assign to a chronological period. The lithic assemblage from the other site contained artifacts that typologically can be assigned to the Levallois‐Mousterian. Previous efforts to date the artifact‐bearing sediments at these sites were unsuccessful. Using newer OSL dating methods (i.e., the Single‐Aliquot‐Regenerated Dose protocol and thermally transferred‐OSL[TT‐OSL]), we attempted to construct a chronological framework for Late Pleistocene human activity in the southwest Peloponnese. The revised OSL chronology for the first site is 28 ± 5 ka, while a luminescence age of 8 ± 1 ka for the second site only represents a later deflation event. Within the framework of Quaternary environmental change, the location of Paleolithic sites relative to the coast would have changed during the course of the Pleistocene. As a result, Paleolithic exploitation strategies would have been strongly influenced by the changing coastal geomorphology, encouraging hominids to adapt to new distributions of resources. OSL dating of the archaeological sites allowed us to connect traces of hominid activity with climatic stadials/interstadials of the later Pleistocene derived from existing relative sea‐level curves. Ultimately, these data permitted the reconstruction of regional Late Pleistocene paleogeography. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
