A variety of methods can be used to establish chronology in archaeology. Foremost among these are stratigraphic techniques, dating based on animal and plant remains, chemical accumulation, and temperature effects, as well as radiometric and radiation dating. The various techniques are applicable under ...
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...

Since World War II, there has been tremendous success in the development of new methods for dating artifacts; the so-called `radiocarbon revolution' was only the first such discovery. The increasing accuracy of the various new techniques has brought a

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...
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 ...

It should be kept in mind that dating involves the introduction of a chronology into a given calendar, but not all the cal- endars are equivalent. There are several possible criteria for classifying the methods of dating. In Fig. 1, the main physical and chemical methods are grouped on ...
