Abstract

The archaeological site of Taibeh located south of Wadi Musa, Jordan, incorporates at least two, maybe even five, successive layers associated with the Late Ahmarian, also known as Masraqan, technocomplex. The Masraqan is elsewhere connected with the beginning of the intensive use of plant food and with permanent settlements. Taibeh could be the first site to present as much as 5 successive layers of this cultural unit. The Masraqan is relatively well constrained in time, usually dated between 18 and 25 ka BP. A series of heated flints was collected at Taibeh to be dated using TL. Two informations are required for the estimation of a TL age: the equivalent dose ( ) which is the dose accumulated in the flint since it had been heated, and the dose rate () to which the flint is exposed during the burial time. The estimation was done applying two different protocols, and both produced consistent results. The estimation was realised using a modified version of DRAC (Durcan et al., 2015) which allows to use different radio-element concentrations for the flints and the surrounding sediment.
