Line 5: Wind blown and [[colluvium\|colluvial]] deposits are particularly suitable for dating using this method as it can be certain that those soils were exposed to sunlight before being overlain. As the technique does not require organic samples it is more widely applicable that carbon dating. It is also reliable over a longer period than C14 and can be used on deposits up to 200,000 years old. OSL is therefore most commonly used on prehistoric sites. {{~~msg:~~Archaeology-stub}} [[Category:Archaeology]]
