optically stimulated luminescence (osl) is currently one of the most important dating methods. it dates the last exposure to sunlight. natural hazard evidences such as colluvial wedges, alluvial and fluvial sediments can be dated by osl. therefore, osl plays an important role in studies related to paleoseismology and tectonic activity, particularly in arid and semi- arid regions. the altai moun...

Localized electronic recombination processes in donor–acceptor pairs of luminescent materials have been recently modeled using a new kinetic model based on tunneling. Within this model, recombination is assumed to take place via the excited state of the donor, and nearest-neighbor recombinations take place within a random distribution of centers. An approximate semi-analytical version of the mo...

optically stimulated luminescence (osl) is currently one of the most important methods for dating minerals during the quaternary. this method plays an important role in studies related to paleoseismology and tectonic activities, particularly in arid and semi- arid regions. osl dates the last exposure to sunlight; therefore, it can directly find the ages of the coseismic or post seismic evidence...

The Galería de las Estatuas is a Mousterian site located within the Cueva Mayor-Cueva del Silo karstic system at Sierra Atapuerca (Burgos, Spain). This characterised by an important Upper Pleistocene stratigraphic sequence in which large number of lithic artefacts exhibiting clear affinities and rich assemblage faunal remains have been found. Additionally, this has yielded foot phalanx Neandert...
