Optical dating in archaeology: thirty years in retrospect and grand challenges for the future (2015, background): “This inherent 808 variability in OSL characteristics among single grains, and the ability of some to record exceptionally high De 809 values, has also been reported for other samples (Duller et al., 2000; Jacobs et al., 2003; Arnold and 810 Roberts, 2011).”
Internal dose rate to K-feldspar grains from radioactive elements other than potassium (2005, unknown): “It has been reported that a small proportion (∼5%) of quartz grains creates most of the OSL signal (McFee and Tite, 1994; Murray and Roberts, 1997; Duller et al., 2000), and that about 10% of K-feldspar grains are significantly brighter than the rest (Zhang, 2001).”
Assessing the error on equivalent dose estimates derived from single aliquot regenerative dose measurements (2007, unknown): “At this scale of analysis, not only do any variations in D e become apparent, but so too do variations in the brightness of individual grains (McFee and Tite 1998; Duller et al. 2000; McCoy et al. 2000).”
