Dating the Quaternary, which covers approximately the last 2
million years, has experienced considerable progress over the past
few decades. On the one hand, this resulted from the necessity to
obtain a valid age concept for this period which had seen
tremendous environmental changes and the advent of the genus Homo.
On the other hand, instrumental improvements, such as the
introduction of highly sensitive analytical techniques, gave rise
to physical and chemical innovations in the field of dating. This
rapid methodological development is still in full progress. The
broad spectrum of chronometric methods applicable to young rocks
and artifacts also becomes increasingly intricate to the
specialist. Hence, it is my goal to present a comprehensive,
state-of-the-art sum mary of these methods. This book is
essentially designed as an aid for scientists who feel a demand for
dating tasks falling into this period, i. e., Quaternary geologists
and archaeologists in the broadest sense. Since it has been
developed from a course of lectures for students of geological and
archaeological sciences, held at the University of Heidelberg, it
certainly shall serve as an introduction for students of these
disciplines."
