Isochron dating of sediments using luminescence of K-feldspar grains
[1] A new method for dating well-bleached sediments is presented, with results for thirteen samples from China. The method uses an isochron constructed from the measurement of natural radiation doses received by potassium-feldspar grains in a range of grain sizes using the infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) signal. The age of deposition of the sediment is calculated from this isochron and ...
متن کاملExtracting Scar and Ridge Features from 3D-scanned Lithic Artifacts
We propose a method for computer analysis of 3D-scanned lithic artifacts. It provides a detailed description of the scars and ridges that were left on the surface of the stone tool while it was produced by knapping. Traditional documentation and research methods are based on hand drawn images of stone tools and manual measurements. Our algorithm enables automatic, objective and precise document...
متن کاملUse of luminescence dating in archaeology
With improvements in methodology and instrumentation, luminescence dating is becoming a much more useful chronometric tool in archaeology. Procedures for dating ceramics are relatively routine and their accuracy has been demonstrated in a number of studies. Research is aimed at applying ceramic dating in situations where other methods lack the direct dating ability of luminescence to resolve ch...
متن کاملRadiocarbon dating and the ‘‘old shell’’ problem: direct dating of artifacts and cultural chronologies in coastal and other aquatic regions
Archaeologists have long recognized the problem of the ‘‘old wood’’ effect in radiocarbon dating charcoal and wood samples, the age of which may be hundreds of years older than their use by humans. Such problems have resulted in significant changes in how most researchers select wood and charcoal samples for C dating, with many now using relatively short-lived carbonized materials for dating. D...
