Abstract

The age of hydrated glass shards from the Pleistocene Ester Ash Bed at Fairbanks, Alaska, is determined using the population-subtraction fission-track method. The age so determined is then corrected for partial annealing by use of the isothermal plateau fission-track (ITP-FT) technique. In this paper, we describe the mathermatical basis of a procedure for obtaining the correct fission-track age using the ITP-FT technique.
