Other sedimentary contexts may in certain circumstances be suitable including glacial sediments, colluvial and slope deposits, ditch-fill sediments and other rapidly deposited contexts. It is advisable to discuss the details of different sedimentary environments with Luminescence Dating Laboratory staff before sample collection. This can significantly improve the dating precision and sample turn-around time. It is often possible for a member of Laboratory staff to visit a site at short notice to collect samples. The prices for luminescence dates depend on the nature and number of samples.
Discounts are available for pilot projects, large batches or certain sample types.
Projects central to the Laboratory's research interests may be carried out at a reduced charge. Please contact the Laboratory for further details.
