Abstract
Abstract In thermoluminescence (TL) dating using the predose technique, the assumption made for the empirical predose equation adapted for use in determining the archaeological predose of a sample cannot always be justified. In coping with the situations a modified predose equation has been semi-analytically formed. In this paper, a brief introduction of the modified predose equation with an experimental verification is presented. An application of the modified equation in actual dating of ancient pottery sherds, which require different magnitudes of the test-dose for a legible 110°C glow peak in quartz is also illustrated. Detailed procedures for convenient use of the modified predose equation in dating are introduced.
