“…At present, the most reliable quartz OSL dating results for Danubian loess appear to derive from finegrained material, for ages up to ca. 70 ka , and loess sections in Romania have been successfully dated within these limitations (Anechitei-Deacu et al, 2014;Constantin et al, 2012Fitzsimmons et al, 2013Fitzsimmons and Hambach, 2014), alongside sections in Serbia (Schmidt et al, 2010, Stevens et al, 2011. However, studies employing quartz OSL in Hungary have sometimes met with poor quartz luminescence properties such as low signals and reproducibility, although reliable ages may be obtained (Schatz et al, 2012).…”
