Scope

This dataset contains the original luminescence data used to create the chronostratigraphy of the Dolní Věstonice loess profile. By publishing this dataset, we aim to support studies on the general characteristics of luminescence behaviours of natural minerals and support the FAIR guidelines for data sharing. This data is primary unmodified measurement data with all the possible errors and typos!

Please note: The dataset was compiled with the greatest care. However, the dataset comes without any guarantee. Human errors are always possible. If you feel that, after reading the original study and this document, the metadata describing the dataset is insufficient, please contact the data curators so that this document can be updated accordingly. Contrary, the primary cannot be updated/modified!

Dataset structure

The dataset consists of sequence files (SEQ) and measurement data (BIN). To each .bin file, there should be one corresponding sequence file. Measurement data are tagged with sample names in the .bin file, e.g., unless, in case of mistakes, samples can be distinguished in the file. 

  • ...BIN/

    • BIN/A-VALUE/:measurement data with a-value measurements; the alpha irradiation was partly done on an external source

    • BIN/MAIN/ measurement data with data used to estimate the equivalent dose of each sample

    • BIN/PREHEAT_PLATEAU files with combined preheat and dose recovery test results

    • BIN/MISC various additional measurements as indicated by the name

  • ...SEQ/

    • SEQ/A-VALUE/

    • SEQ/MAIN

    • SEQ/PREHEAT_PLATEAU

    • SEQ/MISC

  • ...DE_CSV_EXPORT The extracted equivalent dose values from the measurements with uncertainties in s. 

Please note that samples were partly measured on different machines. All files are selections; in the course of the study, we carried out various additional measurements, in particular, preliminary tests; those data are not included in the dataset to keep the dataset comprehensible. 

Used abbreviations

Abbreviations as used in the measurement and sequence file names. For technical details, we refer to the original study and the reference therein.

TERM

DESCRIPTION

CG

coarse grain

refers to the used grain size fraction, here: 90-200 µm

DRT

dose-recovery test

measurement data with dose recovery test results; in this study, such measurements were carried out in combination with different preheat settings

FG

fine grain

refers to the used grain size fraction, here: 4-11 µm

IRSLT

Infrared stimulated test

test for feldspar contamination

LM

linear modulation

linearly modulated optically stimulated luminescence measurements

MAIN

main measurement

usually, the measurement used to estimate the equivalent dose

MG

medium grain

refers to the used grain size fraction, here: 38-63 µm

mz

Moritz

Name of the used Risø OSL/TL DA-15 reader

mx

Max

Name of the used Risø OSL/TL DA-15 reader

NEU

neu

a German word translating to 'new'

oDRT

oDRT

a typo for just DRT

PreaHeat

preheat test

test against different preheat temperatures

Q

quartz

the measured mineral composition, often in combination with CG , MG , or FG . Example: FGQ : fine grain quartz
