An experimental intercomparison was performed with brick samples from an early medieval building in the west of France, the St-Philbert-de-Grandlieu abbey. A potentially complex set of microdosimetric problems emerged from characterisation measuremen...

New developments in the scientific dating of brick (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bailiff, I. K. (2008, December). New developments in the scientific dating of brick. Presented at Medieval Brick Architecture in Flanders and Northern Europe : the Question of Cistercian Origin, Koksijde, Belgium

Fired clay brick has been widely used in the construction of buildings in many parts of Europe since its introduction by the Romans, and the extremely robust physical properties of fired clay enable bricks to endure within the archaeological record f...

Methodological developments in the luminescence dating of brick from English late medieval and post medieval buildings (2007)
Journal Article
Bailiff, I. (2007). Methodological developments in the luminescence dating of brick from English late medieval and post medieval buildings. Archaeometry, 49(4), 827-851. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-4754.2007.00338.x

Fired clay brick samples, obtained from a group of seven high-status late-medieval and post-medieval buildings in England ranging in age from c. ad 1390 to 1740, were dated by the luminescence method using an optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) t...

The feasibility of using an OSL scanning technique to determine the cumulative absorbed dose for single inclusions in sliced brick samples is explored in this paper. The OSL scanner was configured to provide optical stimulation using laser sources wi...
