Some thermoluminescence properties and dating of eolian sands from the Netherlands

Bleaching characteristics of Late Glacial and Holocene eolian sands from The Netherlands confirm the suitability for TL dating of these sediments. A solar simulator has been used for both quartz and potassium feldspar separates. A number of bleaching times and dose rate determinations have been used to establish the best plateau for the ED determination and a suitable dose rate respectively, in order to date a Late Glacial cover sand sample.
