“…The brickearth medium is structurally uniform and in calculating the contemporary gamma dose rate for each sampled location it was assumed that the radionuclide composition of the cored sample was representative of that contained in the surrounding '' volume. A cosmic ray dose rate of 0.17±0.03 mGy a -1 was calculated (Prescott and Hutton, 1988;1994) assuming an average overburden of 100 cm of sediment during the burial history of the sampled contexts and the combined  and cosmic dose rate for each sample is given in Table 2d ( …”

Excavated between 2005 and 2007, the site of Vallparadís (Terrassa, Spain) has given an abundant and diversified fauna associated with a rich Mode 1 industry. In order to complete the chronostratigraphic framework, we performed ESR and combined US-ESR dating applied to quartz grains extracted from sediments and fossil teeth, respectively. The results obtained are very significant, giving a weighted mean ESR age of 0.83 ± 0.13 Ma (2σ) for the reference archaeological level of the site (level 10) and another of 0.79 ± 0.23 Ma (2σ) for the archaeological level 12 of the Vallparadís sequence. These ESR results are in total agreement with the ones derived from biochronology and paleomagnetism. This whole dataset allows the elaboration of a reliable and consistent chronostratigraphic framework which chronologically places Vallparadís site in the late Early Pleistocene period, i.e. within a time range comprised between Jaramillo and Brunhes geomagnetic events. Consequently, as well as Gran Dolina-TD6 and Sima del Elefante- TE9 sites, in Atapuerca, Burgos, Vallparadís can be therefore considered as a key site for the study of early hominid settlements in Europe.

Excavado entre 2005 y 2007, el yacimiento de Vallparadís (Terrassa, España) ha aportado una fauna rica y diversa en asociación con un importante conjunto lítico de Modo 1. Con el objetivo de completar el marco cronoestratigráfico, se hicieron dataciones por los métodos de Resonancia Paramagnética Electrónica (Electron Spin Resonance, ESR) y ESR combinada con uranio-torio sobre algunas muestras de granos de cuarzo extraídos de sedimentos y dientes fósiles, respectivamente. Los resultados obtenidos son muy significativos, ofreciendo edades ESR promedias de 0,83 ± 0,13 Ma (2σ) para el nivel arqueológico de referencia del yacimiento (nivel 10) y de 0,79 ± 0,23 Ma (2σ) para el nivel arqueológico 12 de la secuencia de Vallparadís. Dichos resultados por ESR concuerdan con los obtenidos a partir de la biocronología y del paleomagnetismo. El yacimiento de Vallparadís dispone ahora de un marco cronoestratigráfico fiable y coherente, que permite situarlo cronológicamente a finales del Pleistoceno inferior, dentro de un rango temporal comprendido entre los eventos geomagnéticos de Jaramillo y Brunhes. Dicho yacimiento junto a los de Gran Dolina TD-6 y Sima del Elefante TE-9, en Atapuerca, Burgos, se posiciona como un yacimiento clave para el estudio de los primeros poblamientos humanos de Europa

“…Therefore, an adequate correction is made in calculation of the dose rate. Cosmic dose rate (d c ) is calculated on the basis of data published by Prescott and Hutton (1988), with regard to the depth of deposit occurrence. Correction for deposit moisture is taken after Berger (1988).…”

Loesses cover a large area in SE Poland so their exploration is an important part of the palaeogeographical studies on Pleistocene. The research involves stratigraphic problems. At present, luminescence dating provides the greatest number of chronostratigraphic data concerning loesses. In this work we report TL ages of loesses from the last two glacial cycles in SE Poland, obtained in the TL Laboratory of the Department of Physical Geography and Palaeogeography, Maria CurieSkłodowska University in Lublin after 1993. Samples for TL dating were collected in 11 loess profiles (2-9 samples in each site) in order to obtain additional information for stratigraphic interpretations deduced from paleopedological, lithological, structural, and other data. Basing on the comparison of 54 TL ages, we can determine age intervals, in which the dating results of similar values assemble, and then get general information about the periods of intensified Aeolian accumulation related to defined stratigraphic units. The TL ages of all samples were obtained using the total-bleach method (TB) for the determination of the equivalent dose.
