Both luminescence techniques, namely Thermoluminescence (TL) and Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) are well established absolute dating techniques, the accuracy of which has been tested in several cases, either by archaeological criteria [10] or by comparison with studies using other independent dating methods [

What does OSL stand for in Archaeology?

OSL is an acronym for Optically-Stimulated Luminescence. Optically-Stimulated Luminescence is a late Quaternary dating technique used to date the last time quartz sediment was exposed to light.
