Abstract
Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL or optical) dating can be used to determine the time of
deposition of sediments. Application of the method for young fluvial deposits is difficult due to
incomplete zeroing of the luminescence clock, resulting in overestimation of the burial age. Here we present new optical dating methods and ages obtained on two sites in embanked floodplains of the River Waal. Results are in correct stratigraphical order and agree favourably with available age constraints
