ALSF Dissemination: OSL Guidelines

The guidelines are designed to establish good practice in the use of luminescence dating for providing chronological frameworks. They provide practical advice on using luminescence dating methods in archaeology. The guidelines should not be regarded as a substitute for advice given by specialists on specific projects; and, given how rapidly the methods have developed, it is likely that further improvements in laboratory techniques will occur, so more up to date advice is likely to become available in the future.
