Abstract
An automated procedure for dating quartz and feldspar inclusions in pottery has been developed and tested in a comprehensive program comprising material from a number of welldated Danish sites. The results indicate that thermoluminescence dating of pottery can now be carried out on a routine basis with 95% confidence. Experiments on dating of large grains of alkali feldspars extracted from burnt stones are described. See also AATA 11-703 and 20-32. -- AATA
