“…2-cm-thick outer layers of the samples were removed and used for dose rate measurement, 30% H 2 O 2 and 10% HCl were used to remove organic matter and carbonates, respectively. FG (4-11 m) fractions were isolated using a settlement technique similar to Zhang and Zhou (2007) and Fu et al (2010). CG (63-90 m) KF and CG quartz were also obtained by wet sieving and heavy liquid separation (Li et al, 2008).…”

The potential of multi-elevated-temperature post-IR IRSL (MET-pIRIR) dating [Li, B., Li, S.H., 2011. Luminescence dating of K-feldspar from sediments: a protocol without anomalous fading correction. Quaternary Geochronology 6, 468-479] using polymineral fine grains (FG) (4-11 μm) is tested using loess samples from the Luochuan section in the Chinese Loess Plateau. Nine FG samples with ages within the last glacial-interglacial period are tested using the MET-pIRIR protocol. The MET-pIRIR results for FG are compared with both the coarse grain (63-90 μm) K-feldspar MET-pIRIR dating results and the coarse grain quartz OSL dating results. The stratigraphic age of the profile also provides an independent age control. Our results indicate that the FG MET-pIRIR signals of 200 °C and 250 °C have negligible anomalous fading and they can give reliable ages for the Chinese loess within the last glacial-interglacial period.

“…Multiple studies suggested that the OSL age of heated archaeological quartz was significantly influenced by the component characteristics. For example, Fu et al (2010) found that the initial OSL signals of burnt clay from the Qujialing archaeological site in China were all dominated by the fast component, and their OSL ages were consistent with the independent 14 C ages. When Solongo et al (2021) dated the OSL ages of two Mongolian bricks, the initial OSL of one red brick was dominated by the fast component, and the age agreed with the historical age, while the medium component of another gray brick was significant, and the dating result was underestimated.…”

This study utilizes OSL-SAR, TL-SAR, and TL-MAAD methods to date heated quartz extracted from burnt clay and pottery samples from the Lingjiatan archaeological site, China. The OSL components of the heated quartz were determined by deconvoluting the CW-OSL curve, and the Fast Ratio value was used to distinguish whether the initial OSL signal was dominated by the fast component. The results show two types of quartz OSL characteristics in the initial signals: Type I is dominated by the fast component (Fast Ratio values > 10), while Type II is dominated by the medium and slow components (Fast Ratio values < 10). Type I samples show bright OSL signals, and a preheat plateau appears from a relatively low temperature. The recuperation is negligible, and reliable equivalent doses can be obtained using the conventional OSL-SAR measurement conditions. In contrast, the OSL signal of Type II samples is relatively dim, and the preheat plateau appears from a much higher temperature than in Type I samples. The recuperation of Type II samples increases significantly at higher preheat temperatures. Significant De underestimation of Type II samples was observed at lower preheat temperatures. It is noted that the thermal transfer effect can be attenuated by increasing the OSL stimulation temperature. Therefore, a modified OSL-SAR measurement condition, with higher preheat, cut-heat and stimulation temperatures, was used to date Type II samples. The OSL-SAR ages of most of these two types of samples agree well with the independent 14C ages, demonstrating that OSL-SAR can be used to date heated archaeological materials at high firing temperatures (∼900°C). The Lingjiatan archaeological site was determined to be approximately 5.4–5.8 ka BP 2022.

Roman traces in Germania magna: New thermoluminescence and pIRIR₂₉₀ data from a lime kiln at Bergisch Gladbach, Germany

The applicability of a post-infrared infrared stimulated luminescence (pIRIR 290 ) protocol and two different thermoluminescence (TL) protocols-a single aliquot regeneration (SAR) and a multiple aliquot additive dose (MAAD)-was tested on six polymineral fine-grain (4-11 μm) samples extracted from the wall remains of a Roman lime kiln and a Roman roof tile. These remains had been excavated close to Bergisch Gladbach, which was at that time part of Germania magna. For the pIRIR 290 measurements, no dependence of D e on first-stimulation temperature was detectable, and the standard first stimulation temperature at 50°C was adopted. Fading tests and dose-recovery tests were made for all samples. Background subtracted glow curves were recorded up to 480°C for TL after a preheat of 220°C for 120 s. A-values were determined for all TL and pIRIR measurements. The results for all three protocols were fairly consistent, and TL and pIRIR 290 protocols are shown to be suitable to estimate reliable equivalent doses for the fired kiln walls. The resulting ages are in agreement with the expected time range-Roman Iron Age-and with independent age control provided by radiocarbon ages of animal bones and charcoal from the firing chamber. Highlights: A Roman lime kiln and surrounding sediments were successfully dated using both thermoluminescence (TL) and post-infrared infrared stimulated luminescence (pIRIR).
