Chronology of rock art, ranging from Paleolithic to present times, is a key aspect of the archaeology of art and one of the most controversial. Prehistoric art assemblies are among the most relevant...doi:10.1007/978-3-030-30018-0_2159Juan F. Ruiz...

The OSL (optically stimulated luminescence) dating method exploits dosimetric properties of grains of minerals naturally occurring in sediments and man-made materials. In archaeology the OSL method is used to date pottery and other heated materials (e.g., bricks, stones, earth) or sediments related...

Luminescence dating techniques, including thermoluminescence (TL), optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) have been used in archaeological contexts for nearly 50 years, but recent technical advances and a growing awareness within the archaeological community have ...
A rather common problem in archaeology is the fuzziness of dates assigned to objects. If one wants to visualize overall changes in - let's say - pottery consumption, bar charts often fall short in that regard. If, e.g., the Phases a -- f are employed, then some of the objects can ...
Carbon-14 dating, method of age determination that depends upon the decay to nitrogen of radiocarbon (carbon-14). Carbon-14 is continually formed in nature by the interaction of neutrons with nitrogen-14 in the Earth’s atmosphere. Learn more about carbo
Artifacts which can be dated using these methods include ceramics, burnedlithics, burned bricks and soil from hearths (TL), and unburned stone surfaces that were exposed to light and then buried (OSL). Pottery: The most recent heating measured in pottery sherds is assumed to represent the manu...
