Abstract

Thermoluminescence (TL), infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL), and 14C dates obtained for the Pleistocene glacial deposits from the Chagan section (Russian Altai) and previously published dates demonstrate the considerable complexity of the absolute dating of such sediments. These results cast doubt on available depositional correlation schemes for the Russian Altai and Siberia based on TL dating.
