Dating Methods in Archaeology (Part 6) | Electron spin resonance dating
Channel: Edu Sphere
Date: 2020-09-18

In this video we will be discussing about Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) technique of dating objects.

This is another trapped charged dating method. This technique is similar to the thermoluminescence dating that we have already discussed in the previous sessions. We shall be revisiting some of the concepts of thermoluminescence here. By the way we are not going to dig deeper into the ESR spectrometry method. We shall discuss basically the principle behind this technique and how this is useful in dating of objects.
