Abstract
This paper reports an optical dating comparison using the polymineral fine grain fraction (4–11 μm) and loess mean size fraction (43–54 μm) of a European loess sample (expected age 10–30 ka). Two different stimulation wavelengths (514.5 nm from an Ar ion laser and 880 Δ 80 nm from an i.r. diode array) and different detection wavelength bands were utilized. The aim of such a comparison was to investigate the use of different grain size fractions, stimulation wavelengths and detected emissions for dating loess. The additive dose method was used and the equivalent doses (EDs) obtained were in good agreement (α = 6%).
