Luminescence dating of sediment mounds: associated with shaft and gallery irrigation systems (2019)
Journal Article
Bailiff, I., Jankowski, N., Gerrard, C., Gutiérrez, A., & Wilkinson, K. (2019). Luminescence dating of sediment mounds: associated with shaft and gallery irrigation systems. Journal of Arid Environments, 165, 34-45. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaridenv.2019.02.004

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) techniques, supported by geomorphological analysis, have been applied to date the construction of shaft and gallery irrigation systems, more commonly referred to as qanats, falaj and foggara. The approach devel... Read More about Luminescence dating of sediment mounds: associated with shaft and gallery irrigation systems.

Luminescence dating of qanat technology: prospects for further development (2018)
Journal Article
Bailiff, I., Jankowski, N., Snape, L., Gerrard, C., Gutiérrez, A., & Wilkinson, K. (2018). Luminescence dating of qanat technology: prospects for further development. Water History, 10(1), 73-84. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12685-018-0213-x

With few exceptions in which dating is implied by indirect association with adjacent settlements or incorporation of diagnostic artefacts in upcast sediment, individual qanats have proven very difficult to date. This absence of a chronological framew... Read More about Luminescence dating of qanat technology: prospects for further development.
