Abstract
Results of high resolution optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of one of the most complex loess/palaeosol complex in Poland located in the vicinity of the village Biały Kościół (south–west Poland) are presented. Twenty one samples were collected from the 9-m loess profile and dated using the single-aliquot regenerative method applied to coarse grained quartz fraction (90–125 μm). The obtained single-aliquot results were analysed using the central age model. OSL ages are in good agreement with the chronology inferred from the marine oxygen isotope (MOIS) stratigraphy and ages reported for similar lithostratigraphic units for other loess profiles in Europe. However, for the deepest part of the profile underestimation of OSL is observed.
