Abstract
The luminescence characteristics of sediments are affected by a variety of environmental factors, reflecting both local and broader regional influences. If seeking to apply stimulated luminescence as a ‘pure’ dating technique, variability in these external variables needs to be controlled for, involving, inter alia, lengthy pretreatment procedures and complex dose rate corrections. However, in so doing, a lot of potentially valuable palaeoenvironmental information is lost. Instead, in the present study, we explicitly analysed raw, non-pretreated sediment that preserves this wealth of contributory environmental influence. Using a SUERC portable luminescence (POSL) reader, we performed rapid profiling across a 14,800 year interval of the annually laminated (varved) Lake Suigetsu sedimentary profile, central Japan (i.e., 45,000 to 30,200 IntCal20 yr BP), producing 303 contiguous measurements with a mean sampling resolution of 49 years. To further inform our understanding of this dataset, additional follow-up laboratory dosing was performed to provide sensitivity estimates. The ‘cryptostratigraphy’ (‘hidden stratigraphy’) revealed by our data includes the identification of a step-change in luminescence parameters circa 39,200 IntCal20 yr BP, which we attribute to a major earthquake that resulted in re-routing of inflow to the lake. Further variability in the derived luminescence signals is compared with supporting high resolution x-ray fluorescence (μXRF) data and palynological data from Lake Suigetsu. A correlation between the luminescence profile (both net infra-red-stimulated and net blue light-stimulated signals) and mean annual temperature is revealed, mediated through subtle differences in sediment characteristics under warmer or cooler climatic conditions.
