The field of Luminescence Dating has reached a level of maturity.
Both research and applications from all fields of archaeological
science, from archaeological materials to anthropology and
geoarchaeology, now routinely employ luminescence dating. The
advent of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) techniques and
the potential for exploring a spectrum of grain aliquots enhanced
the applicability, accuracy and the precision of luminescence
dating. The present contribution reviews the physical basis,
mechanisms and methodological aspects of luminescence dating;
discusses advances in instrumentations and facilities, improvements
in analytical procedures, and statistical treatment of data along
with some examples of applications across continents, covering all
periods (Middle Palaeolithic to Medieval) and both Old and New
World archaeology. They also include interdisciplinary applications
that contribute to palaeo-landscape reconstruction.
