“…Nonetheless, the cardinal applicability of RTL for dating heated quartz has been demonstrated (e.g. Pilleyre et al, 1992;Miallier et al, 1994a;1994b) and further methodological advances in recent years have resulted in positioning this technique as a promising tool to date volcanic quartz and feldspar over a wide range of the Quaternary (e.g. Fattahi and Stokes, 2000a;Fattahi and Stokes, 2003b;Tsukamoto et al, 2007).…”

Proposing new approaches for dating young volcanic eruptions by luminescence methods

Abstract:The application of luminescence dating to young volcanic sediments has been first investigated over three decades ago, but it was only with the technical innovations of the last decade that such analyses became viable. While current analytical procedures show promise for dating late Quaternary volcanic events, most efforts have been aimed at unconsolidated volcanic tephra. Investigations into direct dating of lava flows or of non-heated volcanoclastics like phreatic explosion layers, however, remain scarce. These volcanic deposits are of common occurrence and represent important chrono-and volcanostratigraphic markers. Their age determination is therefore of great importance in volcanologic, tectonic, geomorphological and climate studies. In this article, we propose the use of phreatic explosion deposits and xenolithic inclusions in lava flows as target materials for luminescence dating applications. The main focus is on the crucial criterion whether it is probable that such materials experience complete luminescence signal resetting during the volcanic event to be dated. This is argued based on the findings from existing literature, model calculations and laboratory tests.

“…Most earlier research efforts were made on TL dating using quartz extracted from heated siltstone xenolith (e.g., Chen et al, 2001), phreatic explosion (e.g., Miallier et al, 2004;Preusser et al, 2011;Rufer et al, 2012), pumice (e.g., Shitaoka et al, 2009;Miallier et al, 1994) and baked sediments by a lava flow (e.g., Pilleyre et al, 1992;Bonde et al, 2001). However, very few attempts have been made at TL dating using crustal quartz xenocrysts that have survived in host basaltic magma.…”

“…Some difficulties arise in determining an eruption age via the 14 C method, such as possible effects of bioturbation, absorption of volcanic CO 2 , and difficulty in recovering adequate or sufficient carbonic matter. Alternatively the TL age dating method has been applied to quartz-rich young silicic samples (e.g., Gillot et al, 1978;Guerin and Valladas, 1980;Ichikawa et al, 1982;Kanemaki et al, 1991;Miallier et al, 1994). It has not been applied, however, to basaltic samples because the mafic magma usually contains no quartz.…”

Thermoluminescence age of quartz xenocrysts in basaltic lava from Oninomi monogenetic volcano, northern Kyushu, Japan

et al. 2013

Abstract:We determined the eruption age of basaltic rocks by application of thermoluminescence (TL) method, which is often used for TL dating, to quartz. Mafic magma only rarely includes quartz because of their mutual disequilibration. The basaltic lavas reported herein include quartz as xenocrysts, as corroborated by their rounded or anhedral shape. The basaltic lava used for this study is from the Oninomi monogenetic volcano in northern Kyushu, Japan. The volcano eruption was estimated as occurring 7.3-29 ka because the lava exists between two widespread tephras: Aira-Tanzawa ash (26-29 ka) and Kikai-Akahoya ash (7.3 ka). We succeeded in collecting ca. 200 mg of quartz by decomposition of 30 kg of the lava samples. TL measurements for the lava indicate the eruption age as 15.8 ± 2.5 ka, which is fairly consistent with the stratigraphical estimation. Although the TL method has played a considerable part in constraining the timescale of Quaternary events, its application has been limited to silicic samples. The present result demonstrates the availability of quartz for dating even of mafic rock.

“…The important utilization of the RTL as a dating tool for heated quartz was recognized, stemming from the good linearity of the dose response curve and the hard-to-bleach nature of quartz RTL by sunlight (Miallier et al, 1994a;Hashimoto et al, 1989b). On the basis of these advantages, a number of quartz RTL ages have been reported, including the dating of heated quartz associated with ancient volcanic events (Pilleyre et al, 1992;Miallier et al, 1991Miallier et al, , 1994bMiallier et al, , 1994cFattahi and Stokes, 2000a).…”

Abstract:The RTL-phenomena in quartz grains were initially reported and their properties and applications were developed by our group. Although RTL-measurements had the difficulty of overcoming high background counts due to blackbody radiation, the excellent dose linearity and hard-tobleaching nature of quartz RTL are suitable for accurate retrospective dosimetry and dating of burnt archaeological materials. In his paper, the discovery of RTL-phenomena is described. Subsequently, the construction and features of an automatic luminescence measuring system are mentioned together with innovative methods of decreasing the background level for the RTL measurement. Practical applications to dosimetry and dating are then described from the viewpoints of the preferable nature of RTL in comparison to other luminescence observations. Finally, some recent advances in RTL research are presented based on their emission mechanism correlated with impurity contents.
