“…Determining the age of various archaeological objects is one of the most critical problems of geological science and practice. The thermoluminescence (TL) method is a well-established method for determining the age of archaeological ceramics [1][2][3]. This method is based on the effect of the accumulation of nonequilibrium charge carriers on defects in dielectrics, which is generated by ionizing radiation from natural radionuclides contained in dating objects or their environment.…”

The presented work was the first attempt to increase the accuracy of dating natural archeological monuments, namely, the Ballabur castle in Lenkaran of Azerbaijan Republic, by employing the Thermoluminescence (TL) dating method. Luminescence measurements were performed to find out the equivalent dose (ED). Registration of TL signal was carried out using the HarshowTLD 3500 Manual Reader. The irradiation was performed at an ambient temperature from a 60 Co source at different dose levels, and a dose rate of the 60 Co source was determined by EPR spectrometric method using an individually wrapped Alanine Dosimeter. Soil samples were collected close to the pottery sample to determine the natural dose rate. Uranium, Thorium, and Potassium concentrations in soil. The annual dose rate was obtained using a γ-spectrometer with a hyper-pure germanium detector, which was 2.98±0.19 mGy/year. the cosmic dose rate, which pertains to radiation from cosmic sources, was also calculated and found to be 0.10±0.01 Gy/ka. Online dose rate and age calculator calculated the sample's age as 920±50 years which is in line with the age of this area estimated by historians.

“…Jeolojik ve arkeolojik malzemelerin tarihlendirilmesinde, radyoterapi tedavilerinde veya radyasyon kazalarında insanların almış olduğu radyasyon dozunun tesbiti gibi kişisel ve çevresel dozimetre çalışmalarında lüminesans yöntemler yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadırlar. Tarihlendirmede kuvars, kalsit, feldispat gibi doğal mineraller veya doğal polimineral yapıdaki örnekler kullanılırken medikal çalışmalarda LiF bileşiği gibi laboratuvar ortamında üretilen sentetik dozimetreler yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır [1]- [7]. Tarihlendirme çalışmaları için herhangi bir alanda zeminde oluşan katmanlar o alanın geçmişiyle ilgili bilgiler taşır.…”

Bu çalışmada arkeolojik kazıyla çıkarılmış polimineral içerikli bir seramik numunenin gömü boyunca çevreden soğurduğu radyasyon dozu (eşdeğer doz) bulunmuştur. Eşdeğer dozun belirlenmesi lüminesans yaş tayini araştırmalarında önemlidir. Kullanılan numune feldispat, kuvars gibi minerallere ayrıştırılmadan polimineral içerikli ve ince tanecik tekniğine uygun olarak hazırlanmıştır. Kullanılan numune için ön ısıtma sıcaklığı deneysel işlemler sonucunda belirlenmiştir. Hazırlanan numune 200 °C'de 12 dk. süreyle ön ısıtmaya tutulmuştur. Jeolojik veya arkeolojik numunelerde eşdeğer dozun belirlenmesi için sıklıkla kullanılan yöntemlerden farklı bir yöntem çalışmamızda ilk defa kullanılmıştır. Çalışmamızda bu yöntemin ayrıntılarından ve gözlenen avantajlarından bahsedilmiştir. Elde edilen eşdeğer doz değerleri 5.17±0.09 ile 7.06±0.29 Gy arasında değişmektedir. In this study the radiation dose absorbed from the surrounding area was determined for a polymineral ceramic sample that was found by an archeological excavation. Determination of equivalent dose is one of the critical points for luminescence dating researches. The sample used was prepared according to the polymeric content and fine grain technique without decomposing into minerals such as feldspar, quartz. The pre-heating temperature for the sample was determined as a result of experimental procedures. The prepared sample was preheated at 200 °C for 12 minutes. A different method was used for the first time in our study, which is different from the methods commonly used for determining the equivalent dose in geological or archaeological samples. The details and observed advantages of this method are mentioned in our study. The equivalent dose values obtained range from 5.17 ± 0.09 to 7.06 ± 0.29 Gy.
