Abstract
As part of a wider study to assess the potential of quartz optical dat ing in accurately estimating the age of fluvial samples from a range o f important geological and archaeological environments, two samples fr om Tattershall, Lincolnshire, U.K. were dated. The preliminary optical dates are in good agreement with other absolute dating techniques and geological interpretations, demonstrating the potential of quartz to provide chronological information over a wide time range for fluvial s and samples.
