Variations in beta particle attenuation of some Hellenic ceramics
Description
An attempt is made to evaluate the effect of variation in the chemical composition of archaeological ceramics on the determination of beta particle dose. This dose is contributed by the natural radioisotopes of the clay matrix and absorbed by the quartz inclusions in the ceramic body. The effect was estimated by calculating stopping powers and relative attenuations and was found to be insignificant for the TL age calculation. (author)
