Ancient TL (also Ancient thermoluminescence[1]) is a peer-reviewed open-access scientific journal covering luminescence and electron spin resonance dating. It is published by the Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics, University of Lausanne.[2][3]
The journal was founded in 1977 by David W. Zimmerman[4], a pioneer in the field of thermoluminescence dating. Initially an informal newsletter circulated within the community of luminescence dating researchers, it eventually grew into a journal with a broader scope.[5][6][7] Since 2015 the journal has been available online only. The journal is community maintained and articles can be published and downloaded free of charge. Since 2020, articles are published under the Creative Commons licence CC BY 4.0.
