摘要
TL dating in archaeology was initiated in Sri Lanka in 1985 at the research laboratories of the UNESCO Sri Lanka Cultural Triangle Project. Initially three test programs were carried out to see how well this dating method works in Sri Lanka: (I) Dating of bricks and pottery of historically well established structures and contexts. (2) Dating a series of samples: (a) bricks from different phases of Mirisewetiya stupa, (b) pottery from different contexts of citadel, Anuradhapura. (3) Heated sediments from the prehistoric human occupation site of Bell-Cave, Kitulgala (Abeyratne, 1994). All TL age estimates agree well with C-14 chronologies or with the historical dates given in the ancient chronicle, Mahavamsa (the great chronicle of Ceylon) (Geiger and Bode, 1960).
