AB  - This researchwas undertaken to investigate the sensitivity of Thermoluminescence (TL),Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) and Infra-Red Stimulation Luminescence(IRSL) of twelve (12) quartz samples from different locations in the Southwesternpart of Nigeria. This was done with a motive to survey the provenancesuitability of each one of them for luminescence dating. All the luminescencemeasurements on the 12 quartz sample were carried out using a RISØ TL/OSL read(model TL/OSL-DA-15). Each of the samples displayed different range of luminescenceresponses to the same test dose. The sensitivity of the TL and OSL did notfollow identical pattern for all the samples but that of LM-OSL and CW-OSLdemonstrated nearly identical pattern. Feldspar inclusion was identified to beresponsible for the deviation of the sensitivity of OSL from that of TL. Effectof feldspar inclusion seemed passive in TL but highly active in OSL; mostespecially fast component. The significant of feldspar inclusion in SARprotocols was stressed. Further studies on the samples at varying test dosesmay improve the understanding of the behavior of these samples.
