NEW DATING TECHNIQUES FOR QUATERNARY SEDIMENTS AND THEIR APPLICATION ON THE RUSSIAN PLAIN

Abstract

This paper presents the basis of a simplified TL dating procedure, the S–S method. Results are given for two sections from the Russian Plain, for which the geological source of the quartz is in Scandinavia. Results for a modified technique, the S–T method, are given for one section from the region of Novgorod. Quartz from this area has a different origin and behaves differently, thus needing a new dating procedure.
