“…The preparation of measurement samples was made following the routine protocols (Blain et al, 2007;Vieillevigne et al, 2006). The coarse quartz grains (90-150 mm) technique was selected in the Durham laboratory (Bailiff, 2007).…”

a b s t r a c tA luminescence dating study has been applied to inform the history and archaeology of two early medieval buildings in north western France. Five bricks were sampled from the medieval churches (10th-11th centuries A.D.) of Rugles and Condé -sur-Risle in Normandy. The samples were divided and tested in the luminescence laboratories of the University of Durham (UK) and of Iramat-CRP2A, University of Bordeaux 3 (France). The fine grain and quartz inclusion techniques were applied, and tests included an examination of the anomalous fading of the luminescence signal from fine grain samples and coarse grains of feldspar. With one exception, the dates produced using the fine grain technique, although corrected for fading, were significantly younger than those produced with quartz inclusions. Although most of the corrected fine grain dates were consistent with the medieval construction of the churches, the brick fabric is of Roman type by archaeological assessment, and this is supported by the quartz coarse grain dates. We conclude that the bricks sampled are re-used, likely to be of Roman origin, and that the reliability of measurements with feldspars in brick fabrics requires wider investigation.

“…The TL analysis was carried out on polymineral fine grains, generally including feldspars and quartz. A classical (in Bordeaux) determination of the equivalent dose by the additive dose, annealing and regeneration technique (Guibert et al, 1996;Vieillevigne et al, 2006) as well as a fading study was performed. The latter showed that after a storage period of 2 weeks, the TL signals tends to fade slightly, with a reduction in signal strength of ca.…”

The recent application of thermoluminescence (TL) dating to young building materials is being increasingly developed for use in the field of buildings archaeology [Bailif, I.K., Holland, N., 2000 43-55.]. Ensuring the accuracy of the dating method is of the utmost importance in order to achieve results which are pertinent enough to have archaeological significance. This paper deals with an archaeological building study of the first church built on the Mont-Saint-Michel (France) and improvements made to the TL-protocol in Bordeaux. The aim is to achieve precise dates for the material under analysis and therefore, a better understanding of the evolution of the building. For this study, 14 bricks have been sampled from eight different masonries and submitted for TL dating analysis. With the exception of one sample which appears to be non-contemporaneous to the others, the date results range from 900 ± 80 to 1020 ± 60 AD. The results were then averaged according to the two phases established by the archaeological building study. The first two stages of the primitive church both date from the 10th century.

“…Unlike TL, no heating of the sample is needed for OSL, making it preferable for the analysis of unheated sediments; this undoubtedly widens the range of potentially datable elements (dunes, loess, maritime sediments, paleosols etc. In a similar way, experiences in dating OSL surface signals in brick (Vieillevigne et al, 2006) and mortar (Feathers et al, 2008) have recently succeeded.…”

“…Tal y como han demostrado recientes análisis (p. e. Murray y Oley, 2002: 3;Vafiadou et al, 2007) en la LEO una corta exposición a la luz es suficiente para 'reiniciar el reloj' de la luminiscencia; aunque pueden existir problemas relativos a una liberación sólo parcial de los electrones (partial bleaching) esta propiedad es una ventaja esencial de la datación óptica. Por otro lado, y a diferencia de la TL, en el caso de la LEO no es necesario que la muestra haya sido sometida a una fuente de calor, haciéndola pues preferible para el análisis de gran número de sedimentos; esto amplía de forma significativa el número de elementos datables (dunas, limos, sedimentos marinos, paleosuelos... De forma similar, experimentos en la datación de señales LEO en la superficie de ladrillo (Vieillevigne et al, 2006) y mortero (Feathers et al, 2008) han sido realizados con éxito.…”

MENGA M01REVISTA ResumenEl encuentro del Grupo Europeo de Estudios Megalíticos celebrado en Sevilla en noviembre de 2008 reunió a un grupo internacional de especialistas para examinar dos temas: la presencia y significación de rocas raras, y la cronología de estos monumentos. Aunque se sabe que los monumentos megalíticos fueron construidos básicamente con piedras localmente disponibles, sus constructores incorporaron ocasionalmente bloques que habían sido traídos de más distancia. Estos ejemplos de "transporte megalítico" proporcionan datos respecto al significado tanto de las piedras en sí mismas como de sus fuentes de abastecimiento. Los monumentos neolíticos pueden también contener piedra "exótica" en forma de materiales especiales depositados con los muertos, indicadores de valores sociales y simbólicos. El segundo tema del encuentro, la cronología, trató del marco temporal en el que se construyeron los grupos individuales de monumentos así como de las perspectivas posibilitadas por programas de datación recientes. Entre estas perspectivas se encuentra el de...
