Abstract
This project concerns the history of the ceramics industry in North Central Thailand, dating back perhaps a thousand years. Excavations at ancient kiln sites are in progress and scientific investigations are an important part of the work. TL dating is particularly important as C-14 and paleomagnetic measurements have limitations at these sites. The most interesting artifacts are of stoneware which is suitable for pre-dose dating. Kiln bricks are a plausible alternative but have proved to have unsuitable characteristics. In this paper we describe the TL properties of the various types of artifact as they reflect the firing conditions to which the artifacts were subjected. Most of the ages obtained are in the range 600–800 years.
