Age determination by the luminescence dating method is based on measuring
the luminescence of samples that contain quartz or similar minerals. Accurate determination
of the luminescence signal is essential and closely related to the sample preparation.
Many kinds of techniques are used for sample preparation in Optically Stimulated Luminescence
and Thermoluminescence dating. In this study, different sample preparation
techniques, including crushing by hand or mortar, sieving by hand or sieve shaker and
chemical application were compared. Different groups of samples were prepared and then
the OSL and TL luminescence signals were examined. According to results, the best
sample preparation techniques were determined.
