“…The main sources are nuclides from the uranium and thorium decay series, and potassium-40, with further small contributions from rubidium-87 and cosmic rays (Musilek & Kubelik, 2000). The alpha, beta and gamma dose-rates were taken into account in determining the annual dose-rate.…”

Maah, M. (2015). Thermoluminescence dating analysis at the site of an ancient brick structure at Pengkalan Bujang, Malaysia. Applied Radiation and Isotopes, Thermoluminescence dating analysis at the site of an ancient brick structure at Pengkalan Bujang, Malaysia AbstractBujang Valley is a well-known historical complex found in the north-west of peninsular Malaysia; more than 50 ancient monuments and hundreds of artefacts have been discovered throughout the area. The discovery of these suggests Bujang Valley to have been an important South East Asian trading centre over the period from the 10th to 14th centuries. Present work concerns thermoluminescence (TL) dating analysis of shards collected from a historic monument located at Pengkalan Bujang in Bujang Valley. All the shards were prepared using the fine grain technique and the additive dose method was applied in determining the paleodose of each shard. The annual dose rate was obtained by measuring the concentration of naturally occurring radionuclides (U, Th and K) in the samples and their surroundings. The TL ages of the shards were found to range between 330±21 years to 920±69 years, indicative of the last firing of the bricks and tiles from which the shards originated, some dating back to the period during which the historical complex remained active. from a historic monument located at Pengkalan Bujang in Bujang Valley.
