Luminescence Dating Service Facility
A service facility was first established in 1983 and the laboratory has developed considerable experience in dating a wide range of archaeological materials from around the world. The laboratory has a long established international research profile; the scope of recent work includes both application to archaeological samples and fundamental investigation of luminescence of natural minerals. This research informs the methods applied in the service facility and our current interests include the dating of:
Medieval buildings (brick)
Sedimentary deposits from prehistoric sites
Dating stone surfaces of monuments and masonry
Earliest manufacture of pottery
