Residual doses of IRSL signals stimulated at different temperatures using the SAR MET-pIRIR protocol. After 8 hr of bleaching with the solar simulator, the residual doses were reduced to ∼10 Gy for the MET-pIRIR300 signal.

Standard growth curve (SGC) of the ‘MAR with heat’ protocol. The re-normalisation dose was 500 Gy. SGC curves were fitted with the single saturating exponential (SSE) function: y = y0 + A*(1-exp(-x/D0)) and the double saturating exponential (DSE) function: y = y0 + A1*(1-exp(-x/D1)) + A2*(1-exp(-x/D2)), respectively. The fitted results are shown in the graph. Note that the two SGCs only begin to diverge when the dose exceeds 2000 Gy.

De values and age versus depth relationship for section B. The SAR pIR50IR290 protocol has the youngest ages; the SAR pIR50IR290, MET-pIRIR250 and MET-pIRIR300 protocols have similar ages; and the ‘MAR with heat’ protocol has the oldest ages.

Results of dose-recovery-like experiments for sample B-1000. (a) The growth curves of the L1/T1 and L2/T2 signals fitted with a single saturating exponential (SSE) function: y= y0+a*(1-exp(-x/D0)). (b) Regenerative doses of the first cycle are taken as unknown and recovered by the growth curve of L2/T2. The recovery ratios are plotted versus the recovery doses. Note that the recovery ratios are slightly overestimated when the doses exceed 600 Gy.

De values obtained using the five protocols. In the ‘MAR with heat’ protocol, the first ‘n’ indicates the aliquots used to measure the natural signal, and the second refers to the aliquots used to measure the signal of a regenerative dose.

The five post-IR IRSL dating protocols used in this study. The first four are the SAR protocols with pIR50IR290, pIR200IR290, MET-pIRIR250 and MET-pIRIR300 signals, respectively. The fifth is the MAR protocol with the MET-pIRIR300 signal and a ‘cutheat to 500°C’ treatment added before the test dose, simplified as ‘MAR with heat’ (modified from Li et al. (2013)).
