Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 2237 See the link below for public details on this project. Two excel spreadsheets are available for download from the provided URL. Taken from the 1997-1998 Progress Report for this project: INAA (instrumental neutron activation analysis) analyses have been made of subsamples of each OSL (Optically stimulated luminescence) sample, for dosimetry calculation. The samples were then dated at Royal Holloway, University of London (RHUL) which is the worlds leading lab for this work. Two very significant findings were made: (i) That the OSL technique works, and is reliable in Antarctica. These are the first OSL dates from Antarctica; (ii) The overriding hypothesis of Colhoun et al. (ASAC 926) has been vindicated: that Bunger Hills was not fully glaciated at the last glacial maximum.
