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.
