Abstract
We proposed a method for laser dating of ancient Chinese pottery, which determines the time since the pottery was last exposed to sunlight. An argon-ion and krypton laser are used to excite electrons from thermally-stable light-sensitive traps and the subsequent recombination luminescence is used as a measure of the past radiation dose.
