Thermoluminescence dating of dune sands: some refinements

  • 1. Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, India
  • 2. Central Arid Zone Research Institute, Jodhpur, India

Description

Thermoluminescence data on two different grain size fractions 1-8 μm and 90-105 μm are compared with a view toward examining the post-dispositional mobility of the fine grain fraction within a dune matrix. A 'zero age' sample from a dune top yielded a low sediment equivalent dose. The TL dates at Amarpura suggest that the dune building activity at Amarpura in the Rajasthan desert terminated at around 13,000 years B.P. (author)
