This paper is intended as a compendium of good practices to assess whether luminescence dating can provide researchers with valuable chronological information for ceramic samples. It is organized into two main sections. The first section provides an introduction to luminescence dating, including its physical principles, the applied measurement procedures, and a brief summary on a new dating technique (RHX) not based on luminescence. This section aims to provide non-specialists with a background on the physical principles underlying luminescence dating, in order to enable an understanding of the issues that may affect the reliability of luminescence ages and a critical assessment of the results from luminescence laboratories. The second section presents a series of case studies which illustrate the use of these methods, how they can be applied, and what results can be obtained.

通过发光测年法的陶瓷年表：如何以及何时可以对陶瓷文物进行测年

本文旨在作为一种良好实践的汇编，以评估发光测年是否可以为研究人员提供有关陶瓷样品的宝贵时间信息。它分为两个主要部分。第一部分介绍了发光测年法，包括其物理原理，应用的测量程序，以及有关不基于发光的新测年技术（RHX）的简要概述。本节旨在为非专业人员提供有关发光测年的物理原理的背景知识，以使他们能够理解可能影响发光年龄的可靠性的问题，并对发光实验室的结果进行严格的评估。第二部分提供了一系列案例研究，这些案例说明了这些方法的使用，如何应用，
