Advancements in Thermoluminescence Dating: A Case Study of Medieval Brick Structures in Azerbaijan

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: The study aimed to improve the precision of dating historical landmarks, specifically the Ballabur castle in Lenkaran, Azerbaijan Republic, using the thermoluminescence dating (TL) method. The annual dose rate, calculated with a -spectrometer equipped with a hyper-pure germanium detector, was found to be 2.98±0.19 mGy/year. By employing an online dose rate and age calculator, the sample's age was determined to be 920±50 years, consistent with the historical estimates of this region.
