Abstract
We have used thin sections of an archaeological tooth sample to obtain spatially resolved ESR spectra using a pin-hole cavity. This study pr esents the first ESR images of naturally generated radiation sensitive signals. The 3-D plots of the natural and irradiated samples show str ong variations of the ESR intensities within the enamel layers. Owing to the relatively large scattering of the data points it has not been possible to produce 3-D dose plots. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
