Taken from the 1997-1998 Progress Report for this project:

INAA (instrumental neutron activation analysis) analyses have been made of subsamples of each OSL (Optically stimulated luminescence) sample, for dosimetry calculation. The samples were then dated at Royal Holloway, University of London (RHUL) which is the worlds leading lab for this work.

Two very significant findings were made: (i) That the OSL technique works, and is reliable in Antarctica. These are the first OSL dates from Antarctica; (ii) The overriding hypothesis of Colhoun et al. (ASAC 926) has been vindicated: that Bunger Hills was not fully glaciated at the last glacial maximum.

摘自该项目1997-1998年度进展报告：

已对每个光释光（Optically Stimulated Luminescence，OSL）样品的子样本进行了仪器中子活化分析（Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis，INAA），以用于剂量学计算。随后，这些样品在伦敦大学皇家霍洛威学院（Royal Holloway, University of London，RHUL）进行年代测定，该学院是全球该领域的顶尖实验室。

取得了两项极具意义的发现：（i）OSL技术在南极地区有效且可靠，这是首次在南极获得的OSL年代数据；（ii）Colhoun等人（ASAC项目926）提出的核心假设得到了验证，即邦杰丘陵在末次冰盛期并未完全冰川化。
