Thermoluminescence dating TL , a prevalent method in archaeological science, provides an effective technique for dating ancient artifacts and geological materials [1]. It measures the accumulated radiation dose of the time elapsed since the material containing crystalline minerals was heated or exposed to sunlight [2]. Thermoluminescence dating operates on the principle that radioactive elements in the soil, such as uranium, thorium, and potassium, emit radiation, which is absorbed by quartz or other minerals found within archaeological materials [3]. Over time, these minerals trap a portion of the radiation within their crystal lattice.

MOST clays contain a few parts per million of uranium and thorium and a few per cent of potassium, so that the body of an ancient pot receives a radiation dose of the order of 1 r. Some of this energy is stored in the constituent minerals of the clay either by the creation of new lattice defects or by the filling of existing impurity traps.
Thermoluminescence can be broken into two words: Thermo , meaning head and Luminescence , meaning an emission of light. It essentially means that some materials that have accumulated energy over a long period of time will give off some light when exposed to high heat. Thermoluminescence dating is used mostly on pottery and other inorganic materials such as burnt flint. That, and it much cheaper in comparison to other dating methods. Ceramics are made from geological material, inorganic material, right? They use clay and sand and a bunch of other stuff from the ground to make these pieces.
It is possible to date a ceramic, porcelain or terracotta thanks to thermoluminescence TL. Thermoluminescence is the historic technique of science at the service of art. There is a need to differentiate between thermoluminescence tests TL tests that are used for the art market and are similar to approximate dating.
