摘要
Two standard methods,the "fine-grain technique" and the "quartz inclusion technique",and a new method,the pre-dose saturation exponential technique in thermoluminescence(TL)dating of ancient pottery and porcelain were reviewed,especially for the measurement of the paleodose and the annual dose.The two standard methods have been acknowledged in domain of TL dating and are used widely for age determination in archaeology and geology.As a dating tool the TL technique has been of great success in authentication of ancient ceramic art objects.However,a few complicated factors limit the precision and accuracy in age determination.These complicated factors are analyzed and discussed.Therefore,although ceramic TL dating can in general solve the problem of authentication of ancient ceramics,there are still complexities that require further research and study.
Two standard methods, the “fine-grain technique” and the “quartz inclusion technique”, and a new method, the pre-dose saturation exponential technique in thermoluminescence (TL) dating of ancient pottery and porcelain were reviewed, especially for the measurement of the paleodose and the annual dose. The two standard methods have been acknowledged in domain of TL dating and are used widely for age determination in archaeology and geology. As a dating tool the TL technique has been of great success in authentication of ancient ceramic art objects. However, a few complicated factors limit the precision and accuracy in age determination. These complicated factors are analyzed and discussed. Therefore, although ceramic TL dating can in general solve the problem of authentication of ancient ceramics, there are still complexities that require further research and study.
