The optically-stimulated luminescence from quartz grains extracted from sediments at two archaeological sites has been studied. The sites were the Upper Palaeolithic site at Hengistbury Head, Dorset, U.K. and the Upper Aterian site at Chaperon Rouge, Morocco. Problems associated with the technique of optical dating are discussed, particularly the thermal treatment that is necessary to remove thermally unstable charge following artificial irradiation, and the extrapolation of growth curves to estimate the equivalent dose. The technique used is described and some preliminary dates are presented.
