Description
In recent years some degree of progress has been made in understanding the details of several phenomena important to the use of thermoluminescence (TL) in dating procedures. This paper highlights some of these, with emphasis on the TL properties of quartz. Included in the paper are discussions of the point defects responsible for the 100oC TL peak, the supralinear properties of this signal, the consequences of this information on pre-dose dating, and a phenomenological discussion of the possible mechanisms of optical bleaching of the TL signal in this material.
