Guide for interpreting and reporting luminescence dating results

The development and application of luminescence dating dosimetry techniques have grown exponentially in the last several decades. Luminescence methods provide age control for a broad range geological archaeological contexts can characterize mineral glass properties linked to geologic origin, Earth-surface processes, past exposure light, heat, ionizing radiation. applicable spans 500,000 years or more, which covers period modern human evolution, provides context rates magnitudes hazards, climate change. Given growth applications publications data, there is need unified, community-driven guidance regarding publication interpretation results. This paper presents guide essential information necessary publishing archiving ages as well supporting data that transportable expandable different research objectives outlets. We outline needed sets, including associated with equivalent dose, dose rate, models, stratigraphic context. A brief review fundamentals applications, on sample collection insight into laboratory processing analysis steps, presented archiving.
