The experimental results show that the measured errors are 15% (±1σ) for the paleodose and 17% (±1σ) for the annual dose respectively, and the TL age error is 23% (±1σ) in this method. The larger Chinese porcelains from the museum and the nation-wide collectors have been dated by this method. The results show that the certainty about the authenticity testing is larger than 95%, and the measurable porcelains make up about 95% of the por- celain dated. It is very successful in discrimination for the imitations of ancient Chinese porcelains. This paper describes the measured principle and method for the paleodose of porcelains. The TL ages are dated by this method for the 39 shards and porcelains from past dynasties of China and the detailed data in the measurement are reported.展开更多

The principle of pre-dose dating is based on two characteristics: thermal activation and radiation quenching of the porcelain. Based on these principles, two measurement methods, "the activation method" and "the quenching method", respectively, have been developed for evaluation of the porcelain paleodose. The paleodose values obtained are the same for the ages in the range of 100―1000 a BP for porcelains measured by these two methods. But for dating at lower age limits (less than 100 a BP), the activation method is more accurate; conversely, at higher age limits (greater than 1000 a BP) the quenching method is more accurate. In addition, two specific calculating methods are described for a few porce-lains having anomalous activation and quenching characteristics that make these two methods invalid.展开更多

It is found that the thermoluminescence (TL) at high temperatures can be bleached significantly, but no effects were observed on TL signals used for the pre-dose dating technique. It is concluded that the pre-dose dating technique can be applied to samples even after light exposures. Pottery samples of Tang Dynasty and New Stone Age were studied. Modifications to routine pre-dose dating technique are proposed with adding preheat procedures and using saturation exponential fitting for the sensitivity change data. The modified technique can extend the dating range to New Stone Age.展开更多

The method is mainly applied for porcelain datillg. To test the method, some simulated paleodoses of the imitations of ancient porcelain were used. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulated values of the paleodoses, and the average ratios of the two values by using the two ways are 1.05 and 0.99 with standard deviations (±lσ) of 19% and 15% respectively. Such errors can be accepted in porcelain dating.展开更多
