Abstract: The thermolnminescence (TL) authenticity measurement is an important technique in archaeology. However, some modern fake reproductions have given a challenge to routine TL dating.
In this paper, a TL dating method using alpha dose is described. This method is reliable because alpha dose cannot be faked. The method is experimented on the imitated sherds of pottery and on the ancient bricks. It is found that the dates gained by these measurements agree very well with the dates of themselves.
