Benkő L., Horváth F., Horvatincic, N., Obelic, В.: Radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dating of prehistoric sites in Hungary and Yugoslavia = Radiocarbon 31 (1989) 992. Radiocarbon and thermoluminescence measurements were taken to date two tell settlements in the Carpathian basin: the Late Neolithic site Gorzsa (southeast Hungary) and the Eneolithic site of Vuĉedol (east Croatia). The TL ages range from 4900 to 4500 ВС and 3600 to 2900 ВС, respectively. Benkő L.: Környezeti minták vizsgálata TL dozimetriával (Investigation of environmental samples by means of TL dosimetry) = XIV. Sugárvédelmi Továbbképző Tanfolyam, Balatonkenese (1989). A high sensitivity TL technique was presented for the direct assessment of the internal beta dose component of potteries of archaeological origin. Benkő L.: Termolumineszcens kormeghatározás (Themioluminescence dating. Invited paper) - XV. Sugárvédelmi Továbbképző Tanfolyam, Abstracts, Balatonkenese (1990). Principles and recent developments of TL dating are presented. Benkő L.: A TL technique for on-plate measurement of doses below 1 microgray = Radiation Protection Dosimetry 34 (1990) 225. A TL technique is discussed which enables highly reliable measurements to be performed at doses as low as 0.1 microgray. Some of the Results relating to isotope dependence, build-up of spurious TL and possible applications in TL dating are also presented. Benkő L.: Assessment of beta dose rate by on-plate TL technique = 6th Int. Specialist Seminar on Thermoluminescence and Electron Spin Resonance Dating (Abstract No. 63.), Clermont-Ferrand, France, (1990). The TL response of CaS0 4 :Dy to extremely low beta doses delivered by pottery samples was investigated.

The dosimetry situation is strongly affected by local inhomogenities which represent a severe limitation in the accuracy of the annual dose. Therefore, in industrial archaeology, the overall uncertainty of the TL Age amounts to 10-20%.
