Résumé
The new technique of Optical Dating, primarily applicable to unburnt sediment which has been exposed to sunlight during transportation by wind or water, is briefly described. The technique is compared to TL (Thermoluminescence) dating of sediments, to which it is closely related. The particular advantage of using zircon grains is indicated as well as the likely age for the techniques in general, and expected archaeological applications.
