The field of Luminescence Dating has reached a level of maturity. The advent of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) techniques and the potential for exploring a spectrum of grain aliquots enhanced the applicability, accuracy and the precision of luminescence dating.

Dating the Quaternary, which covers approximately the last 2 million years, has experienced considerable progress over the past few decades. On the other hand, instrumental improvements, such as the introduction of highly sensitive analytical techniques, gave rise to physical and chemical innovations in the field of dating.
