摘要：

In order to explore the reliability of dating techniques and to determine which materials are most useful for the establishment of precise chronologies, C-14, ESR, TL and OSL analyses were carried out on charcoal, bones, shells and sediments from the archaeological site of Batadomba Cave, Sri Lanka. The dating techniques were complemented by Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectrometry, X-ray diffraction analysis as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Compared with the new and existing charcoal C-14 chronology, radiocarbon dating of shells, luminescence dating of sediments as well as ESR dating of shells provided reasonable agreement. Outliers could be explained by diagenetic alteration of the samples. ESR dating of bones seems to be fraught with many complications, but also provided some reasonable age estimates.
