Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Dating of Pottery from the Suta Archaeological Site, Colombia Ali D. Öcal, Mamoun Hemmida, Ovidio Almanza
 Abstract
Ceramic sherds from the archaeological site of Suta, Leyva Valley, Colombia, have been dated by the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR).
The Ti–H center, generated by radiation in quartz, was detected by EPR and used to determine the age of the ceramic sherds studied here.
The annual dose rate (AD) received by the pottery was evaluated from the contributions of external and internal radiation sources.
Two dates were obtained from the absolute chronological data of the samples taken from the excavated archaeological units: 665.3 ± 130 and 1048.8 ± 110 AD years.
This indicates an extended settlement period of 380 years for the two excavated sites.
