nal peaks around 285 and 440°C occurred at higher exposure levels. The response of the 285 C stable peak was found to be linear in the range of 40 to 300 Gy. Ten samples of known archaelogical age were studied by the pre-dose technique. After a 200°C heating most of the samples exhibited a fairly linear sensitivity growth for pre-doses ranging to 7 Gy. However, the general validity of the observations can be questioned by the absence of a pronounced plateau in the sensitivity increase as a function ot tne activation temperature up to 300°C. The dosimetry situation of the teeth also remains a serious problem to be solved. Benkő L.: Termolumineszcens kormeghatározás: az alkalmazás lehetőségei kohók esetében (Thermoluminescence dating possible applications to ancient ovens) = MTA VEAB Értesítő, Veszprém, 1981, p. 205. (In Hungarian) Physical principles of the thermoluminescence dating are discussed. Application possibilities related to ancient ovens are outlined, as well as some preliminary results. Specific instructions are given concerning the collection of pottery samples to be dated. Benkő L.: TL properties of individual quartz grains = PACT Journal 9. pp. 175-181, 1983. While investigating the NTL and NTL+ATL of quartz samples of archaeological origin, we found a distinct peak shift which depended on the grain transparency. The higher proportion of frosty to shiny grains was closely correlated with a lower peak temperature in the NTL+ATL. This observation was confirmed by the TL measurements on selected shiny and frosty grains. Further experimental results: 1. There was no detectable beta dose-rate dependence on grain transparency when a loose monolayer of 7 mg/cm 2 was used. 2. When glowed one by one, the TL yield of individual grains varied by up to an order of magnitude and was independent of their size and optical appearence.

Its archaeological date is the 3rd century A.D. The TL dating gives an earlier age than the early medieval furnaces of this type. It is probably of Roman Imperial period. Benkő L.: Kemencék és edények vizsgálata TL módszerrel (TL dating of potteries, furnaces and kilns) = MTA VEAB Értesítő, Veszprém, 1984, p. 263. (In Hungarian) A number of experiments was carried out with archaeological quartz samples of various transparency and also with selected shiny and frosty grains. Some correlations with TL characteristics are discussed. The dating technique and a few applications to kilns, furnaces and Copper Age potteries are presented.
