Abstract

A method for measuring archaeological dose of Packjae pottery shards using thermoluminescence dosimetry(TLD) has been studied. TL measurement has been achieved using quartz crystals in the size range of 90 to <TEX>$125{\mu}m$</TEX> diameter extracted from the pottery shards. The stable temperature region of the TL glow curve which is devoid of anomalous fading components was identified by the plateau test and found to exist from 265 to <TEX>$300^{\circ}C$</TEX>. The archaeological dose of the pottery shards was estimated to be 7.43 Gy using the dose calibration curves obtained from sequential irradiation of <TEX>$^{137}Cs$</TEX> gamma source to the samples and TL measurement of natural samples.
