Thermoluminescent dating of prehistoric pottery sherds from Gomolava near Hrtkovci (Yugoslavia)

Abstract

(p. 15)

The results of this test program are regarded as encouraging and indicate that a number of possible interfering effects are not of serious importance. The accuracy of results presented were estimated to be about at the 10% level. At the present level of accuracy, the method is of considerable importance in prehistoric archaeology.

In further work the measurement of accumulated dosage and annual dose-rate will be refined along with the other TL techniques.

The nature and the kinetics of the intermediate temperature peaks of the ancient ceramics glow curve need further investigation.
