| Abstract |
Chapter 4 is dedicated to optically stimulated luminescence dating. This technique became available in the 1990s. Also for this dating technique it is valid that detailed knowledge of the technique and the sample properties are crucial for the interpretation of the dates. The case studies of polycyclic driftsand deposits and plaggic Anthrosols demonstrate the differences in ages of organic and mineral fractions of soil samples and how to interpret this in the context of soil genesis.
