Abstract
Portable luminescence readers (POSL) have been demonstrated to provide an extremely useful first-order
estimate of inorganic sample burial age. This allows for sites and sequences to be interpreted in situ and permits
more targeted field sampling strategies. In southern Africa, thus far, this device has been used predominantly
in the analysis of dune settings (Stone et al., 2018). Here, we present data from ~100 lake sediment samples
from the middle Kalahari (Burrough et al., 2007; 2009), broadening the environmental settings for which the
applicability of this device has been investigated.
We present data on the regression between POSL blue stimulated signal and the full SAR-protocol OSL burial
ages from the published lake sample datasets (Burrough et al., 2007; 2009). We also investigate what sample
characteristics may be influencing the strength of this regression. Finally, we compare this data with the regionspecific
calibrations that have already been produced for southern African aeolian sediments (Stone et al.,
2018)
