OSL and IRSL dating can be done at the Lund Luminescence Laboratory. For further information incl. pricing and the possibility of research collaboration, please contact Helena Alexanderson. Sample submission should only be done after prior agreement with the lab; our capacity, particularly for large sample batches, is unfortunately limited. We can also provide advice on sampling, and sample tubes

Aeolian deposits in Sweden and Norway: an unexplored environmental archive Swedish aeolian deposits contain a record of environmental change that is largely unused. By investigating deposits such as inland dunes and determining their age, a better understanding of aeolian systems in formerly glaciated areas can be gained, causes for sand drift in the past can be determined and the qualitative and

Welcome to the finest laboratory in the world for processing microfossils! Through decades of continuous refinement and development, primarily by Professor Emeritus Lennart Jeppsson, we are now able to process very large samples (up to more than 100 kg each) and get very concentrated sample residues that will significantly decrease picking time. We use buffered and diluted (c. 10%) acetic acid tha

The Laboratory for Wood Anatomy and Dendrochronology has been active at the Department of Geology, Lund University, since 1973. The focus of the laboratory is on dendrochronological age determination of wood material from archaeological excavations, historical constructions, ship wrecks, art work etc. All material sent to the laboratory is registered and archived, and the laboratory hosts the by f

How does dendrochronological age determination work Trees growing in regions with seasonal climate variations usually develop visual rings consisting early wood and late wood during every growth season. Simply expressed, thick rings are formed during years with warm and humid summers while thinner rings reflect the opposite conditions, although a number of other factors may also influence tree gro

All sampled submitted to the laboratory are registered, followed by preparation of optimal surfaces for analysis across several growth radii of the tree. Subsequently, tree-ring series are measured and registered using specially designed measuring devices (Lintab and Aniol) connected to computers, screens and printers. The soft wares used for data storage, cross-correlation and statistical analyse

Cut out a disc of the wood where you think you can get the maximum number of growth rings and where there are no obvious disturbances by branches or other irregularities. If the log has suffered damage it may be useful to take several samples in order to cover more growth rings or the transition to bark. The disc should be at least 1-5 cm thick or thick enough not to break apart. Package the sampl

Introduction The Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory in Lund performs dating on geological and archaeological samples. Examples of material that we date are wood, charcoal, peat, macrofossils, bone and marine shells. The analyses are based on Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS).Many radionuclides, such as 3H, 10Be, 14C, 26Al, 32Si, 36Cl, 39Ar and 81Kr, are produced naturally in the atmosphere as a resul

During the autumn of 2004, a new machine for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry was installed at the GeoBiosphere Science Centre. It is a compact machine (ca 6.5 x 4.5 m2) and based on some new technology – ‘Single Stage Accelerator Mass Spectrometry’ (SSAMS). It is used for 14C-dating and for quantification of 14C-labelled substances with applications within radioecology, ecology, medicine and biomedi

During 1965-1998, radiocarbon dating in Lund was performed in a conventional laboratory at the Department of Quaternary Geology using two CO2 proportional counters for detection of 14C disintegrations. Dating limit for the equipment was ca 40000 years BP, and the precision for Holocene samples was ± 50 to 80 years. The dating capacity was ca 140 samples/year and around 4200 radiocarbon datings wer

Samples must be clean with no pieces that can break off and fall down into the microscope vacuum system or fly around in the sample chamber. It is also important that the samples are free of oil and grease. If the microscope is to be used in high vacuum, the sample must be conductive. If the sample itself is not conductive, it must be subjected to a conductive layer. Both coal and gold coating ins
