Abstract
The coastal cliff at Netanya South in the Sharon Coastal Plain of Israel wa s investigated with luminescence dating methods. Twenty-four samples were t aken from the exposed aeolianites and intercalated paleosols. The 24 IRSL a nd 24 TL age estimates suggest that the lower 45 m of the section were depo sited in Oxygen Isotope Stage 3. The uppermost 7 m of the section are of Ho locene age and clearly separated by a hiatus of 20-30 ka from the lower par t. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
