Infrared stimulated luminescence dating of an Eemian (MIS 5e) site in Denmark using K-feldspar
Abstract
Infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) dating of K-feldspars may be an alternative to quartz optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating when the quartz OSL signal is too close to saturation or when the quartz luminescence characteristics are unsuitable. In this paper, Eemian (MIS 5e) coastal marine sands exposed in a cliff section on the coast of southern Jutland (Denmark) are used to test the accuracy and precision of IRSL dating using K-feldspars. This material has been used previously to test quartz OSL dating (Murray & Funder 2003): a small systematic underestimation of
