Description

It was found that K value can be reflected by the ratio of natural ESR signal intensity I0 to the maximum ESR signal intensity Imax at dose saturation. An equation of assessment of k value, derived from several samples of aragonitic corals compared with U-series dating, was obtained. The precision of ESR dating can be improved by using the equation
